... in a temperature range of 20 °C to 90 °C and for several particle volumetric concentrations up to 10% showed that the ratio of thermal conductivity of nanofluid to that of the base fluid increased with an increase in temperature and volumetric concentration. As an example, as much as a 20% enhancement in thermal...

... for the natural convection past a vertical cylinder in a porous medium saturated with a nanofluid. Numerical results for friction factor, surface heat transfer rate, and mass transfer rate have been presented for parametric variations of the buoyancy ratio parameter Nr, Brownian motion parameter Nb...

...Javad Abolfazli Esfahani; Vahid Bordbar Double-diffusive natural convection flow in square enclosure filled with nanofluid is studied in this paper. Water based nanofluid containing various nanoparticles including Cu, Ag, Al 2 O 3 , and TiO 2 is used in the numerical analysis. The upper and lower...
