Abstract

In this article, we have studied effect of two types of solid nanoparticles (i.e., TiO $$_{2}$$ and Cu) on the forced convective power law fluid flow through the annular sector duct. Finite volume method is used to transform governing nonlinear partial differential equations in algebraic form. A code is developed to solve resulting algebraic system of coupled equations with the help of strongly implicit procedure. Effect of concentration of solid nanoparticles on the velocity and temperature profiles is presented both in graphical and tabular form for different values of power law index. It has been observed that nanoparticles have pronounced effect in pseudo-plastic fluid as compared to dilatant fluid.
