This discussion exhibits the major scientific errors on the recent published paper, entitled "Steady Laminar Natural Convection of Nanofluid Under the Impact of Magnetic Field on 2-D Cavity with Radiation" and their corrections indifferently. In Saleem et al. [1], the authors stated in both of abstract and problem assumptions that the non-Darcy model is used for the porous medium, while the porous terms are incompatible with this assumption. In addition, the authors used a non-inclined geometry in their investigation, but the governing equations are conflicting with this hypothesis. Further, the used range of the Darcy number is between 10?2-102 and this range is very large and did not represent the porous media flow. All of these observations make the mathematical formulations and the obtained results of Saleem et al. [1] are wrong. In the following sections, these scientific errors and their corrections will be presented minutely.

Purpose This study aims to numerically analyse the impact of an inclined magnetic field and Joule heating on the conjugate heat transfer because of the mixed convection of an Al2O3–water nanofluid in a thick wall enclosure. Design/methodology/approach A horizontal temperature gradient together with the shear-driven Flow creates the mixed convection inside the enclosure. The nonhomogeneous model, in which the nanoparticles have a slip velocity because of thermophoresis and Brownian diffusion, is adopted in the present study. The thermal performance is evaluated by determining the entropy generation, which includes the contribution because of magnetic field. A control volume method over a staggered grid arrangement is adopted to compute the governing equations. Findings The Lorentz force created by the applied magnetic field has an adverse effect on the flow and thermal field, and consequently, the heat transfer and entropy generation attenuate because of the presence of magnetic force. The Joule heating enhances the fluid temperature but attenuates the heat transfer. The impact of the magnetic field diminishes as the angle of inclination of the magnetic field is increased, and it manifests as the volume fraction of nanoparticles is increased. Addition of nanoparticles enhances both the heat transfer and entropy generation compared to the clear fluid with enhancement in entropy generation higher than the rate by which the heat transfer augments. The average Bejan number and mixing-cup temperature are evaluated to analyse the thermodynamic characteristics of the nanofluid. Originality/value This literature survey suggests that the impact of an inclined magnetic field and Joule heating on conjugate heat transfer based on a two-phase model has not been addressed before. The impact of the relative slip velocity of nanoparticles diminishes as the magnetic field becomes stronger.
