Numerical simulation of natural convection of nanofluids in a square cavity with several pairs of heaters and coolers (HACs) inside

Heatline visualization of natural convection in a trapezoidal cavity partly filled with nanofluid porous layer and partly with non-Newtonian fluid layer

“…Saleh et al [10] conducted for the first time a numerical study to solve the problem of natural convection in a trapezoidal cavity filled with water-Cu and water-Al 2 O 3 nanofluids. Garoosi et al [11] considered numerically the effects of several pairs of heaters and coolers on natural convection of nanofluids in a square cavity. Ganji and Malvandi [12] applied the uniform magnetic field on natural convection of nanofluids inside a vertical cavity.…”

Numerical Approach of Coupling Vibration Magneto-convection In Nanofluid

“…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].…”

Numerical simulation of natural convection between hot and cold microtubes in a cylinder enclosure

“…A wide range of parametric simulations and experimental tests are needed for the internal natural convection with complicated boundary structure. Instead of a single pair of hot and cold tube, Garoosi et al [18] extended the work to multiple hot and cold square blocks inside a rectangular cavity. The possible application intorduced by Garoosi et al [18] is for the case that heaters (heat generating blocks) and coolers (HAC) coexist inside an enclosure, such as radiators and cooled electronic chips in buildings.…”

Besides the configuration used in the present paper can be considered as a heat exchanger with an intermediate third fluid, the heating and cooling fluids are not allowed to contact for safety reasons.…”
