Natural convection heat transfer under constant heat flux wall in a nanofluid filled annulus enclosure
In this investigation, the Control Volume based Finite Element Method (CVFEM) is used to simulate the natural convection heat transfer of Cu–water nanofluid in an annulus enclosure. The Maxwell–Garnetts (MG) and Brinkman models are also employed to estimate the effect of thermal conductivity and vis...
