Nanofluids are considered to have great potential for heat transfer enhancement and are highly suited to application in practical heat transfer processes. Recently, several important studies were carried out to understand and explain the causes of the enhancement or control of heat transfer...

The current numerical study is conducted to analyze melting in a rectangular closed enclosure by subjecting the bottom wavy surface to a uniform temperature. The cavity vertical walls and the top wall are insulated while the bottom wall is maintained at temperature TB = 38.3 °C. The...

In this paper magnetohydrodynamic free convection flow of CuO–water nanofluid in a square enclosure with a rectangular heated body is investigated numerically using Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) scheme. The effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluid are calculated by KKL...

The heat transfer through a vertical stack of rectangular cavities filled with phase change materials (PCMs) is experimentally analysed in terms of both melting and solidification processes. This paper provides data that are useful for benchmarking and validation of numerical models that account...
