Abstract
In the present work, a new type of nanofluid called the hybrid nanofluid (Al2O3-Cu-water) is used to enhance the heat transfer. The Finite-Volume-Method (FVM) along with the SIMPLE-algorithm has been utilized to study the heat-transfer and, mixed convection fluid-flow of the hybrid nanofluid (Al2O3-Cu-water), placed within the lid-driven rectangular cavity. The bottom and top walls are subjected to constant high temperature (Th) and low temperature (Tc) respectively. The side walls are treated as adiabatic. The top wall moves in the positive x-direction. The effects of Reynolds number and hybrid nanoparticle volume fraction on the flow field have been investigated. It is found that the mean Nusselt number increases with respect to Reynolds numbers and hybrid nanoparticle volume fraction.
