Effects of Nanoparticles Shape and Concentration on Natural Convection of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-Water Nanofluid in a Cubic Enclosure
Three-dimensional numerical simulations of natural convection heat transfer of Al2O3-water nanofluid in a differentially-heated, cubic enclosure is performed considering nanoparticles shape. The effects of nanoparticles shape, nanoparticles volume fraction and Rayleigh number on natural convection h...
