摘要
The current study investigates two-dimensional natural convective heat transference and entropy production in a tilted wavy-walled enclosure under the magnetic field and thermal radiation effect. The enclosure is filled with Cu–Al2O3/H2O hybrid nanofluid and subjected to a non-uniformly heated curved left wall, constant cold right curved side, uniformly heated bottom side, and insulated upper side. The regulating formulas in the non-dimensional form are reduced to streaming function-velocity expression and are numerically solved based on the Bi-CGStab method. The simulations are behaved with diverse Rayleigh amounts, Hartmann numbers, an incline angle of the enclosure, radiation parameters, diverse amplitude of the curved wall, and volume fraction of hybrid nanoparticles. Numerical code validation with other published results agrees well with the present outcomes. Heat and entropy generation were improved with the change in dimensionless parameters, and the findings have been clarified through discussion. The observations indicate that the Rayleigh numbers, nanoparticle fractional size, amplitude, and radiation parameter influence the convective effect and entropy production inside the enclosure. In contrast, the Hartmann number detracts from the convective effect. The findings suggest that a rise in the cavity angle may result in a corresponding boost or decline in heat transference. The minimum Nusselt numbers is obtained at [Formula: see text], as the angle of incline of the enclosure restraints the fluid rapidity and diminishes the heat transference rates. To design heat exchangers, this particular study may serve as a guide.
