The Soret-Dufour characteristics elaborate the phenomena of cross-diffusion where solutal gradients yield heat flux (Dufour aspect) and thermal gradients engender mass flux (Soret effect). Such consideration finds significance in multi-component fluid systems, influencing both heat-mass transportation processes. This study evaluates the porous medium characteristics in convectively heated tangent-hyperbolic nanomaterial driven by a magnetized convected cone. The analysis features Buongiorno nanomaterial model which accounts Brownian motion together with thermophoresis. Thermal transport expression which reports heat transfer characteristics is modeled by considering thermal radiation, convective thermal conditions and heat generation while mass transfer considers the chemical reaction effects. Dimensional expressions are converted into dimensionless forms deploying similarity transformations ensuing in a set of ODEs (ordinary differential expressions) which are computed by deploying bvp4c algorithm. Graphical and tabular behavior of velocity, nanoparticles concentration and temperature fields is inspected corresponding to related variables. This research highlights key findings, revealing a decrease in Nusselt number with increasing heat generation, Dufour parameter and thermophoresis parameter values while opposite trends are verified for radiation parameter values. The velocity function declines for escalating Weissenberg number, magnetic field and permeability parameters but it upsurges with material and buoyancy parameters.
