Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of natural
convection heat transfer in a cold outer circular enclosure containing a hot
inner elliptic circular cylinder. The fluid in the enclosure is Cu-water
nanofluid. The main emphasis is to find the numerical treatment for the said
mathematical model. The effects of Rayleigh number, inclined angle of elliptic

Purpose Water/Al2O3 nanofluid with volume fractions of 0, 0.3 and 0.06 was
investigated inside a rectangular microchannel. Jet injection of nanofluid was
used to enhance the heat transfer under a homogeneous magnetic field with the
strengths of Ha = 0, 20 and 40. Both slip velocity and no-slip boundary
conditions were used. Design/methodology/approach The laminar flow was studied
using Reynolds nu... hiện toàn bộ

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the boundary layer flow of an
Oldroyd-B fluid with Newtonian heating. Design/methodology/approach – Series
solutions are found by homotopy analysis method. Findings – Temperature profile
increases with an increase in conjugate parameter. Increase in parameter β and
Prandtl number Pr decreases the temperature profile. Originality/value – This
work d... hiện toàn bộ
