A nanofluid is a suspension of ultrafine particles in a conventional base fluid which tremendously enhances the heat transfer characteristics of the original fluid. Furthermore, nanofluids are expected to be ideally suited in practical applications as their use incurs little or no penalty in pressur

Nanofluids are considered to offer important advantages over conventional heat transfer fluids. Over a decade ago, researchers focused on measuring and modeling the effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluids. Recently important theoretical and experimental research works on convectiv
Heat transfer enhancement utilizing nanofluids in a trapezoidal enclosure is investigated for various pertinent parameters. Transport equations are modelled by a stream-vorticity formulation and solved numerically by finite difference approach. The inclined sloping boundaries is treated by adopting
