TL;DR: In this article, a simple precipitation technique was used to synthesize 8 nm CuO nanoparticles of average diameter 8 nm and the authors studied the thermal properties of the suspensions and found that the thermal conductivity increases nonlinearly with the volume fraction of nanoparticles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluid are calculated by KKL (Koo-Kleinstreuer-Li) correlation.
Abstract: In this paper magnetohydrodynamic free convection flow of CuO–water nanofluid in a square enclosure with a rectangular heated body is investigated numerically using Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) scheme. The effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluid are calculated by KKL (Koo–Kleinstreuer–Li) correlation. The influence of pertinent parameters such as Hartmann number, nanoparticle volume fraction and Rayleigh number on the flow, heat transfer and entropy generation have been examined. The results show that the heat transfer rate and Dimensionless entropy generation number increase with increase of the Rayleigh number and nanoparticle volume fraction but it decreases with increase of the Hartmann number.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the combine effects of thermo-diffusion and thermal radiation on Williamson nanofluid over a porous stretching sheet and apply successive linearization method (SLM) and Chebyshev spectral collocation method (CSC) to solve the resulting coupled ordinary nonlinear differential equations.
