Two immiscible fluids flows are materialized in science and technology; the combined convection of the two immiscible fluids in a square conduit is reviewed in this study. The nanofluid and pure viscous fluid which do not mix are discussed, and both layers saturated with a porous matrix have different permeabilities. The Dupuit-Forchheimer and Tiwari-Das models are applied to outline the permeability of the layer and nanofluids, respectively. The finite difference method is utilized to find the solutions of conservation equations along with suitable boundary and interface conditions. The boundary condition for the velocity is no slip at all the boundaries, while continuity of velocity and shear stress are used at the interface. The left and right walls are kept at constant but different temperatures, the top and bottom walls are isolated, and the continuity of temperature and heat flux is assumed at the interface. Grashof number, Brinkman number, Darcy number, inertia parameter, permeability ratio, solid volume fraction, thermal conductivity and viscosity ratios, different nanoparticles, and various base liquids of the two-layered fluids are engaged. The velocity is depleted by the inertia and viscosity ratio while it is accelerated with the Darcy and Grashof numbers. The energy distribution was not modulated significantly with any of the dimensionless numbers. Using copper nanoparticles doped in mineral oil and ethylene glycol produced the peak momentum. Diamond nanoparticles dropped in water catalysis showed the best heat transfer rate.
