Abstract:

Numerical simulations of natural convection heat and mass transfer in a square cavity using Comsol Multiphysics 5.0 software are presented. The effective thermal conductivity of nanofluid in porous media is computed using glass beads as porous media. It is observed that the heat and mass transfer rate increases with the increase of temperature variation as well as nanoparticle volume concentration.
