Natural convection of Cu–water nanofluid in a cavity with partially active side walls

Numerical Approach of Coupling Vibration Magneto-convection In Nanofluid

“…Table 2 shows the comparison of the Nusselt number for different values of the Rayleigh number of other investigators for the same problem. As it can be observed from this table, very good agreements exist between the Nusselt numbers obtained by the present simulation and the results of Khanafer et al [25], G.A.Sheikhzadeh et al [8] and De Vahl Davis [26].…”

“…The topic of natural convection in a cavity is of importance because many engineering applications, heating and/or cooling takes place inside the enclosure [1]. In the literature, a rich and variety of numerical results have been published on the phenomenon of natural convection in differentially heated shallow enclosures with various wall conditions [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Mixed Convection Heat Transfer Enhancement in a Vented Cavity Filled with a Nanofluid

“…The obtained results showed that regardless of the position of the pairs of source-sink, the heat transfer rate increases with an increase of the Rayleigh number and the solid volume fraction. Heat transfer in a square cavity with partially active vertical walls filled with Cu-water nanofluid was treated numerically by Sheikhzadeh et al (2011). It was observed from the results that the average Nusselt number increases with increasing both the Rayleigh number and the volume fraction of the nanoparticles.…”

A locally modified single-phase model for analyzing magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow and heat transfer of nanofluids over nonlinearly stretching sheet with chemical reaction

“…Indeed, the Brownian motion of the nanoparticles in these suspensions is one of the potential contributors to this enhancement (Choi, 1995;Choi et al, 2001;Xie et al, 2003;Li and Peterson, 2007;Aminossadati and Ghasemi, 2009;Hamad and Ferddows, 2012). Apparently, Choi (1995) was the first researcher who introduced the term nanofluids to refer to the fluid with suspended nanoparticles, and up from this time, many researchers focused on numerical or experimental studies in the field of thermophysical and also heat and fluid flow properties of nanofluids such by Choi (1995) Sheikhzadeh et al (2011) and to name but a few.…”
