NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF MIXED CONVECTION OF SiO2-WATER NANOFLUIDS WITHIN AN INCLINED DOUBLE LIDS-DRIVEN CAVITY

Combined convection heat transfer in a lid driven cavity filled with nanofluids

“…Numerous scholars have recently investigated the combined convection heat transfer using square lid-driven enclosures. [1][2][3][4][5] In fact, there is a wide range of engineering applications, for example, heat transmission in solar ponds, float glass manufacture, solar collectors, and lake dynamics. Consequently, the combined convection heat transfer problem has generated considerable interest.…”

“…Consequently, the combined convection heat transfer problem has generated considerable interest. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Due to the movement of the cavity walls, combined convection occurs within the cavity, resulting in both forced and natural convection functioning in conjunction to transfer heat. This movement causes shear forces within the cavity, resulting in the formation of a hydrodynamic and thermal boundary layer.…”

“…13 Many researchers have focused their attention on mixed convection in a lid-driven cavity filled with nanofluids because of the promising prospects for heat transfer enhancement that they offer. [1][2][3][4] Under combined heat transfer action, it was observed that adding nanoparticles to a fluid increased the heat transfer rate. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that adding nanoparticles to a solution enhances the rate of heat transmission.…”

“…Moreover, it has been demonstrated that adding nanoparticles to a solution enhances the rate of heat transmission. [1][2][3][4]11,14 Oztop and Dagtekin's 5 argued that increasing the Richardson number (Ri) decreased the average Nu. In a square lid-driven cavity, Al-Amiri et al 6 conducted computational research on steady mixed convection heat transfer.…”
