摘要:In this paper, natural and forced convection heat transfer in a square enclosure is investigated. The top and bottom walls of the mentioned cavity are insulated while the right and left walls are exposed to a constant temperature. The cavity is filled with a nanofluid composed of a mixture of water and Al2O3 spherical nanoparticles. The nanofluid is assumed to be incompressible. Then nanoparticles are presumed to be in thermal equilibrium with the water and there is no slip between them.
