An investigation of the stability of an micropolar nanofluid overlying a sparsely packed porous medium and implanted in a parallel conduit is reviewed. Linear and also nonlinear terms are incorporated for the study. A Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer drag force model is deployed. To evaluate nanoscale effects the Buongiorno model is employed. The equations for mass, momentum, angular momentum, energy and nanoparticle species conservation with correlated wall conditions are non-dimensionalized. Modified diffusivity ratio and Lewis number stable the system, the micropolar parameters concentration Rayleigh number destable system for stationary convection. Concentration Rayleigh number, micropolar parameters stabilize and Lewis number destabilizes the system for oscillatory convection. Applications of the study include micro/nano-fluidic devices, nano-doped energy systems and packed beds in chemical engineering.
