Although the discussion on wavy wall is a typical issue in natural and forced convection [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] , the case on double-sided undulation on mixed convection still lacks attention.

Two dimensional wavy walls rectangular cavity with inclined magnetohydrodynamic has been examined in mixed convection configurations. Triple fins arranged in the upwards ladder were filled within alumina nanoliquid in the cavity. Vertical sinusoidal walls were heated, and the other side was kept cold while both horizontal walls were kept adiabatic. All walls were motionless except the top cavity that was driven to the right. The diversified range of control parameter in Richardson number, Hartmann number, number of undulations, length of the cavity has been performed in this study. The analysis was simulated using finite element method by employing the governing equation formula, and the results were delineated in the form of streamlines, isotherms, heatlines, and comparisons on several relationships between the local velocity in the y -axis line of 0.6, local and average Nusselt number along the heated surface and dimensionless average temperature. The findings revealed that high concentration nanofluids boost the rate of heat transfer without the need to apply any magnetic field. Results found that the best heat mechanisms are natural convection with significant-high Richardson number as well as constructing two waves on the vertical walls in the cavity.

The goal of this research is to investigate numerically mixed convection flow and heat transfer characteristics from two rotating cylinders in a trapezoidal enclosure filled with porous material for a variety of factors including rotation speed and direction, Richardson number, and the location of the cylinders. The results of this presentation were checked against accessible data and determined to be very similar. The heat transmission properties within the trapezoid were found to be substantially dependent on the Richardson number, speed, and direction of the spinning cylinders, as well as the location of the cylinders according to the findings of this study. Furthermore, it was discovered that the CW-CW casing produced more heat transfer as compared to the CCW-CW scenario for various Richardson numbers when the cylinders placed vertically. Furthermore, this research revealed that, for higher Richardson values, the rotation speed has no effect on the heat transfer increase inside the trapezoidal enclosure. The effect of the cylinders’ location on the average Nusselt number was also studied in this investigation. It was found the placing the cylinders in the vertical direction produced higher heat transfer compared with horizontal location for a trapezoid heated from below.
... The problems of external flow are modeled by utilizing the hypothesis of traditional boundary layer via the assumption that the boundary layer exterior area is unchanged via the solid boundary (Das et al., 2017). In comparison, for the configuration of internal convection, the connections between the core and boundary layer comprise a main intricacy in the problem of natural convection (Samarskii et al., 1993;Abdulkadhim et al., 2018;Majdi et al., 2020). For domestic use, materials with melting temperature between 40 and 80 °C are commonly studied, with paraffins, fatty acids, salt hydrates and alcohols being the most popular. ...

The involvement of non-linear convection effects in a natural convective fluid flow and heat transfer along with the effects of magnetic field in a porous cavity is studied numerically. Cu-water filled cavity of higher temperature at the left wall and lower temperature at the right wall. The governing equations are organized to achieve the required flow by using two-dimensional equations of energy, continuity and momentum. Vorticity-stream function based dimensionless equations are solved using the finite difference techniques. The results are discussed for various dimensionless parameters such as the Darcy number, non-linear convection parameter, Hartmann number, Rayleigh number and solid volume fraction of the nanoparticles. An augment in streamline velocity and convection heat transfer are observed by increasing the Rayleigh number, non-linear convection parameter and Darcy number. The non-linear convection parameter has a lesser effect on the lower Rayleigh numbers. Diminished streamline intensity and reduction in convection heat transfer are noted for an increase in the strength of the applied magnetic field irrespective of the non-linear convection parameter.

Through this work we want to study the behavior of the fluid inside a square chamber that has two openings at the top of vertical walls for the entry and exit of the fluid. Also, the chamber is arranged around two hot cylinders located vertically. The fact that the fluid is cold and the walls of the cylinders are hot, it is shown a vertical transfer of the fluid due to thermal buoyancy force. The research was accomplished numerically by solving differential equations by resorting to ANSYS-CFX code. The pertinent parameters examined are: the flow velocity which is expressed by the number of Reynolds ( = 1 to 40); the buoyancy force which is expressed by the number of Richardson ( = 0 to 1). The thermal properties of the fluid used here gave the value of Prandtl number (Pr = 1). The values of Nu number for the two cylinders are calculated and expressed in terms of the values of Re and Ri. The purpose of this work is to examine the performance of the fluid behavior and its effect on the quality of heat transfer between the walls of the hot cylinders and cold fluid. The results showed that the effect of the fluid on the cylinders differs from the lower cylinder to the upper cylinder. Also, the presence of counter-flows in some cases creates hydrodynamic force in the opposite direction. For example, for Re = 40 increasing the Ri value from 0 to 1 increases Nu by an average of 3.84% for the upper obstacle and 81% for the lower one.

Laminar natural-convection flow and entropy production within a vertical porous annulus filled with nanofluids are examined. The vertical walls of the external and internal cylinders are maintained at different temperatures TH and TC (TH > TC), respectively. In contrast, the bottom and top of the annulus are adiabatic. Equations of continuity, momentum, energy, and entropy are resolved using the finite volume approach. Our FORTRAN-language programming code is well-validated with other works. The effects of porosity 0.2 ≤ ε ≤ 0.99, nanoparticles 0 ≤ ϕ ≤ 0.08, nanofluid types, Rayleigh 10³ ≤ Ra ≤ 10⁵ and Darcy 10⁻⁴ ≤ Da ≤ 10⁻¹ numbers on the flow, heat transfer, and entropy production are examined. We find that nanoparticles' inclusion improves heat transfer and increases total entropy production St. Da and ε affect flow structure, thermal field, and entropy generation. Besides, increasing Da and ε, St, the average Nusselt Nu¯in,out, and Bejan Be numbers increase. However, in the opposite case, St and Be decrease. For Ra = 10⁵, the best Nusssetl number is maximum for the Ag-water nanofluid, which increases up to 9.50%. Adding TiO2 nanoparticles, on the other hand, results in a lower Nu¯in,out value. The increase of the inner cylinder size reduces Nu¯in,out and St.
