Natural Convection in Special Conditions ( Porous media, Magnetic Field) in NanoFluid Flow, A Review in Recent Literature
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii "Eftimie Murgu" Resita. Fascicula de Inginerie - Year 2015, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
Natural convection is the fundamental subject in heat transfer. So it is the matter of many theoretical and experimental researches. In recent years, much attention was given to the use of natural convection with nanofluid in reactor design, engineering application, cooling of electronic equipment, aircraft cabin insulation, solar collector etc. and many studies were conducted in this area. In this paper, a review on the influence of parameters of magnetic field, porous media and volume fraction of nanofluid in the natural convection on the heat transfer, Nusselt number, entropy generation and Hartmann number has been investigated. In the end, some suggestions have been given for continue work.
