Abstract
In this paper, CuO-H2O nanofluid forced convection in a lid driven porous cavity is investigated under the impact of magnetic field. Shape effect of nanoparticles and Brownian motion impact on nanofluid properties are taken into consideration. Vorticity stream function formulation is utilized. The solutions of final equations are obtained by CVFEM. Graphs are shown for different values of Darcy number (Da), CuO-H2O volume fraction (Ï), Reynolds (Ra) and Hartmann (Ha) numbers. Outputs indicate that selecting Platelet shaped nanoparticles results the highest heat transfer rate. Nusselt number augments with rise of Darcy and Reynolds number while it decreases with augment of Lorentz forces.
