Abstract
Two-dimensional time-independent free convective flow and temperature flow into a right-angled triangle shape cavity charged by Cu-H2O nanofluid has been performed. The horizontal side of the enclosure is warmed uniformly T=Th whilst the standing wall is cooled at low-temperature T=Tc and hypotenuse of the triangular is insulated. The dimensionless non-linear governing PDEs have been solved numerically employing the robust PDE solver the Galerkin weighted residual finite element technique. An excellent agreement is founded between the previous, and present studies. The outcomes are displayed through streamline contours, isotherm contours, and local and average Nusselt number for buoyancy-driven parameter Rayleigh number, Hartmann number, and nanoparticles volume fraction. The outcomes show that the temperature flow value significantly changes for the increases of Rayleigh number, Hartmann number, and nanoparticles volume fraction. Average Nusselt number is increased for the composition of nanoparticles whereas diminishes with the increase of Hartmann number.Keywords
