In the present work, natural convective heat transfer of water/Al2O3 nano-fluid in an inclined square enclosure is investigated. The side walls of the cavity are cold and the upper and lower ones are insulated. A wall with a thermal-conductivity of 100 and a thickness of 0.5 is located on the cold w...
