Abstract

Heat transfer by means of mixed convection in enclosures is a topic of great interest due to
several engineering and industrial applications including cooling systems of electronic
components, building and thermal insulation systems, built-in-storage collectors, nuclear
reactor systems, food storage, heat exchangers, solar collectors and materials processing. In
view of these applications, the natural convective magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heat
transfer inside a rectangular enclosure filled with porous media saturated with two different
nanofluids is analysed in this study. The Tiwari -Das nanofluid model is adopted and two kinds
of nanoparticles, namely aluminium oxide (
