TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the natural convection in an enclosure that is filled with a water-Al2O3 nanofluid and is influenced by a magnetic field, based upon numerical predictions, the effects of pertinent parameters such as the Rayleigh number (103,≤,Ra,≤ 107), the solid volume fraction (0.06), and the Hartmann number ( 0.1), on the flow and temperature fields and the heat transfer performance of the enclosure were examined.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of pertinent parameters such as the Reynolds number (0≤ Re ≤ 1000), the solid volume fraction ( 0≤ ϕ ≤ 0.04), and the Hartmann number on the flow and temperature fields and the heat transfer performance of the microchannel were examined against numerical predictions.

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal performance of a microchannel, cooled with either pure water or a Cu-water nanofluid, while considering the effects of both slip and no-slip boundary conditions on the flow field and heat transfer was studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of a wedge angle on the MHD laminar momentum and thermal boundary layer decelerating forced flow of a water-Cu nanofluid flow over a constant temperature wedge is investigated numerically for different nanoparticle volume fractions.

TL;DR: In this article, the phase changing of cyclohexane-copper nano-PCM in a square porous cavity in the presence of a magnetic field was studied and the effects of these parameters on the flow and temperature fields, the heat transfer rate, and the melting time examined.
