Heterogeneous nanofluids: natural convection heat transfer enhancement

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Convective heat transfer using different nanofluid types is investigated. The domain is differentially heated and nanofluids are treated as heterogeneous mixtures with weak solutal diffusivity and possible Soret separation. Owing to the pronounced Soret effect of...
