Enclosure with irregular boundaries by providing surface corrugations is considered an efficient strategy to elevate the heat transfer mechanism in laser technology, cooling of electronic instrument, photonic systems in material processing, magnetic resonance, and the automobile industry are few to mention. In view of such mesmerizing utilization present work is articulated by considering L-shaped corrugated enclosure saturated with water and copper (Cu) nanoparticles are included. The physical impacts of a horizontally oriented magnetic field and permeable medium are accounted along with measurement of entropy. Mathematical modelling of the problem is attained in dimensionless version through a set of similar variables. Computational experiments are conducted through the application of commercial software (COMSOL) based on the finite element approach. A grid independence and comparison tests are also accounted to ensure credibility of simulations. Impact of parameters is revealed through sketches. Quantities of interest, including local and average Nusselt numbers, Bejan number, and total entropy, are also evaluated for flat and correlated surfaces. Induction of nanoparticles in the base fluids tends to reduce the entropy generation by up to 12.45 %. Growth in NuAvg (3.08 % approx.) is attained by increasing the frequency of imposed triangular waved corrugation.
