Buoyancy-driven heat transfer in nanofluid-filled trapezoidal enclosure with variable thermal conductivity and viscosity
Heat transfer performance utilizing nanofluids in a trapezoidal enclosure is investigated taking into account variable thermal conductivity and viscosity. Transport equations are modelled by a stream-vorticity formulation, and are solved numerically by the finite difference method. The effects of th...
