Numerical study of natural and mixed convection heat transfer between differentially heated cylinders in an adiabatic enclosure filled with nanofluid
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the effects of pertinent parameters such as; position and number of the cold cylinders, location and rotation direction of the heat source/sink, Rayleigh number, Richardson number, volume fraction, size (25nm,≤dp/µ) and type (Cu, Al2O3, TiO2) of the nanoparticles on fluid flow and heat transfer rate.
