Effect of Variable Thermal Expansion Coefficient and Nanofluid Properties on Steady Natural Convection in an Enclosure
Steady state natural convection is numerically investigated in an enclosure using variable thermal conductivity, viscosity and thermal expansion coefficient of Al2O3–water nanofluid. This study has been conducted for a wide range of Rayleigh numbers (103≤ Ra ≤ 106), concentrations of nanoparticles (...
