NATURAL CONVECTION OF A NANOFLUID IN A CONICAL CONTAINER

Abstract

Natural convection is
simulated in a truncated cone filled with Cu-water nanofluid,

pure water is considered as the base fluid with Pr=6.2 and  (Cu) is the 
nanoparticle
  . Inclined and top walls have
constant temperature where the heat source is located on the bottom wall of the
conical container which is thermally insulated. A finite volume approach is
used to solve the governing equations using the
SIMPLE algorithm for different
parameters such as Rayleigh number (103, 104, 105
and 106), inclination angle of inclined walls of the enclosure and
heat source length (
0.3L, 0.7L and L). The results showed an
enhancement in cooling system by using a nanofluid, when conduction regime is
assisted. The inclination angle of inclined sidewall and heat source length
affect the heat transfer rate and the maximum temperature.
