description The time-dependent nonlinear convective Williamson nanofluid flow over a rough conical surface in the presence of numerous diffusions and Arrhenius activation energy effects are the main focus of the investigation in this paper. The unsteady flow is essentially due to the impulsive mainstream flow. Two diffusive species, namely, liquid Hydrogen and liquid Nitrogen, occur in the flow under investigation. A sinusoidal waveform mathematically models the rough conical surface with small amplitude and high frequency. Thus, the surface gradients, namely skin friction, exhibit wavy effects in the boundary layer regime. In the current flow problem, the governing equations for the fluid flow are highly coupled nonlinear PDEs that depend on the proper initial and boundary conditions. Mangler's transformations are used to convert them into non-dimensional forms, and implicit finite difference approximation and quasilinearization are employed to produce numerical semi-similar solutions. The numerical results representing the boundary layer effects are displayed graphically and analyzed for parametric values. The friction experienced by the rough surface is strongly fluctuating for higher values of Williamson parameter W. The heat transfer rate Rex-1/2Nu increases approximately by 61% and 63% at ξ=0.8 when Nt decreases from Nt=0.5 to Nt=0.1, for the cases of W = 0 (Newtonian fluid) and W = 1(Williamson fluid), respectively. Additionally, there is a strong correlation between the current findings and the related results previously published in the literature.
