Numerical investigation of natural convection heat transfer of nano-fluids in a micro-channel
Fardin Rouzbahani,R. Dehnavi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an enhanced cell-centered finite-volume procedure has been presented for solving the natural convection of the laminar Al O /Water nanofluid flow in a Γ shaped micro-channel in the slip-flow region, including the effects of velocity slip and temperature jump at the wall, which are the main characteristics of flow in slip flow region.

Mixed Convection in a Lid-Driven Inclined Cavity with Discrete Heater on the Lower Wall
TL;DR: In this article, the analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer enhancement in a lid-driven square enclosure inclined at an angle ψ and partially heated from below is developed numerically, where a heater is placed at the middle of the bottom wall whereas the upper wall, moving horizontally at a constant speed, is maintained at a lessened temperature.

Enhancement of natural convection of a nanofluid by stress-free patches in an L-shaped enclosure
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated how several essential factors collaboratively influence the natural convection, including the Rayleigh number (Ra), the aspect ratio (AR), the nanoparticle volume fraction (ϕ), and the locations of changing hydrodynamic resistance.
