【 摘 要 】

The goal of the current numerical research is to explore the convection of different nanoliquids in a square cavity. The temperature at left wall varies sinusoidally whereas the temperature at right wall is kept as constant. The horizontal walls are taken as adiabatic. The finite volume method is utilized to discretize the governing equations and the solutions are found iteratively for diverse combinations of relevant parameters involved in the study. It is established that the energy transfer enhances with raising the nanoliquid volume fraction. The growth in the averaged energy transport strongly depends on the nanoparticle chosen.
