Enhanced heat transfer and friction factor of MWCNT–Fe3O4/water hybrid nanofluids
TL;DR: In this paper, the convective heat transfer coefficient and friction factor for fully developed turbulent flow of MWCNT-Fe3O4/water hybrid nanofluids flowing through a uniformly-heated-atconstant-heat-flux circular tube are estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural convection cooling of a localised heat source at the bottom of a nanofluid-filled enclosure
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a numerical study of the cooling performance of a heat source embedded on the bottom wall of an enclosure filled with nanofluids, where the top and vertical walls of the enclosure are maintained at a relatively low temperature.

Magnetic field effect on natural convection in a nanofluid-filled square enclosure
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.
