The Baffle Length Effects on the Natural Convection in Nanofluid-Filled Square Enclosure with Sinusoidal Temperature

“…Natural convection can be used for nuclear reactor cooling and thermal conditioning. It can be used to cool nuclear reactors, regulate the temperature of electronic equipment, and cool buildings and solar panels, in addition to various agricultural applications [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Natural convection has been extensively studied in air-filled enclosures with differently heated vertical walls, with different boundary conditions for the heat source walls and different boundary conditions of other walls.…”

Magnetoconvection around an elliptic cylinder placed in a lid‐driven square enclosure subjected to internal heat generation or absorption

“…Some of the previous works done on mixed convective heat transfer are captured in various studies. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Olayemi et al 7 considered lid-driven convective flow in a square cavity exposed to different modes of heating and submitted that the maximum heat transfer took place close to the lower wall and the highest value of flow velocity occurrence at y = 0.4 in the vertical midplane at x = 0.5. Khan et al 8 analyzed lid-driven convective flow in a trapezoidal configuration housing a cylinder that was subjected to rotary motion.…”

“…Mixed convection in enclosures of various configurations has captured numerous researchers' interest over the years owing to its broad technological engagements, such as in the cooling of electronic devices, nuclear reactors, chemical processing equipment, lubricating groves, and in the manufacturing of float glass and coating. Some of the previous works done on mixed convective heat transfer are captured in various studies 1–6 . Olayemi et al 7 considered lid‐driven convective flow in a square cavity exposed to different modes of heating and submitted that the maximum heat transfer took place close to the lower wall and the highest value of flow velocity occurrence at y = 0.4 in the vertical midplane at x = 0.5.…”
