| Sumario: | Abstract Temperature transfer by virtue of natural convection for visualizing heat transport characteristics through heatline method within a prismatic cavity filled with Cu-H2O nanofluid considering two different temperature boundary conditions is performed numerically. Two top inclined walls are warmed-up at low temperature whilst the bottom wall is heated two different heated conditions such as uniform temperature condition and linear temperature condition. Two vertical walls are insulated. Finite element technique of Galerkin weighted residual form is employed for solving nonlinear partial differential equations for numerical calculation. Heatlines, isotherm contours, streamline contours, and Nusselt number are employed for displaying numerical simulated results for the model parameters entitled nanoparticles volume fraction, Hartmann number and Rayleigh number. The outcomes indicate that heat transfer rate has a significant impact on thermal boundary condition and shape of the nanoparticles. The temperature transfer value enhances significantly for higher Rayleigh number as well as nanoparticles volume fraction. Hartmann number has a positive impact on fluid flow and temperature transport. The characteristics of heat transport using heatlines method are also performed for predicting the better energy transform compared to isotherm contours. In addition, different types of nanofluids are also employed to examine the best heat transport performance. |
