Abstract
This study investigates the enhancement of heat transfer for the fluid with the addition of nano-particles in a two-dimensional rectangular cavity. Thermo-physical properties of such fluids and volume fraction of nano-particles in those fluids and its heat transfer characteristics are studied. ANSYS Fluent code is utilized for this purpose. Validation of the computational model has been carried out against the benchmark data available from the literature. A heat transfer correlation in terms of the Nusselt number (Nu) average as a function of Grashoff number and volume fraction of the nano-particles in the base fluid for the turbulent flow is developed and formulated in this study.
