The strategic utilization of nanofluids within square enclosures comprising horizontal fins presents promising applications ranging from electronic cooling systems, nuclear reactor heat management, to solar energy collection. This study employs numerical simulations to delineate the intricacies of heat transfer phenomena under the influence of natural convection in a laminar flow regime within a square enclosure of varied cavity dimensions. The enclosure is filled with a nanofluid composed of Al2O3 at a concentration of 3%, suspended in H2O, Ethylene Glycol (EG), and H2O/EG mixtures. The position and length of a specific fin are scrutinized, along with an array of Rayleigh numbers. Numerical analyses are executed using the homogeneous heat transfer model in Ansys Fluent. Observations reveal a direct correlation between the increase in Rayleigh number (ranging from 10 3 to 106), the conductivity ratio and an elevation in the surface temperature, consequently contributing to an enhanced efficiency of heat transmission. Optimal fin placement for maximum heat transfer improvement is detected at a height of 0.5 m and a length of 0.75 m within the enclosure. The study further investigates the Nusselt number variations of Al2O3 nanoparticles at a 3% volume concentration when suspended in water, a combination of water and Ethylene Glycol, and Ethylene Glycol alone. Upon a rise in wall temperature, an increase in the Rayleigh number is noted, inducing heightened convective activity and hence, improved heat transmission. Additionally, it is established that an increase in the conductivity ratio of the fin significantly augments heat transfer enhancement.
