Finite-volume procedure is presented for solving the natural convection of the laminar  nanofluid flow in a Γ shaped microchannel in this article. Modified Navier-Stokes equations for nanofluids are the basic equations for this problem. Slip flow region, including the effects of velocity slip and temperature jump at the wall, are the main characteristics of flow in the slip flow region. Steady ...

This study investigates numerically the 2D laminar natural convection in a Saltbox roof type geometry under summer climate conditions as obtained Africa, particularly Nigeria using ANSYS FLUENT to model boundary conditions. The effects of Rayleigh number (Ra) within range 103-107 and pitch angles (top base) on heat transfer, flow structure, temperature distribution entropy generation were analy...

Heat and vapour convective surface coefficients are required in practically all heat and vapour transport calculations. In building envelope research, such coefficients are often assumed constants for a set of conditions. Heat transfer surface coefficients are often determined using empirical correlations based on measurements of different geometry and flows. Vapour transfer surface coefficient...

Numerical investigation for the steady-state laminar nanofluid 2D natural convection in a partially heated porous cavity equipped with two fins at hot wall under effect of uniform magnetic field is carried out. Effects wide ranges variables including: Hartman number (0?80), direction (0o?90°), Rayleigh (103?106), Darcy (10–2?10–5), nano-solid particles volume fraction (? = 0% and 6%), length at...
