A numerical investigation of mixed convection is carried out to study the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in an inclined circular pipe using the finite volume method. The pipe has L/D of 500 and it was subjected to a uniform heat flux boundary condition. Four types of nanofluids (Al2O3,...
