Mixed convection has been one of the most interesting subjects of study in
the area of heat transfer for many years. The entropy generation due to MHD
mixed convection heat transfer in L-shaped enclosure being filled with
Cu-water nanofluid and having an internal heating generation is explored in
this investigation by the finite volume technique. Lid-motion is presented
by both right and top parts of walls to induce forced convection and the
cavity is under an inclined uniform magnetic field along the positive
horizontal direction. The statistics concentrated specifically on the
impacts of several key parameters like as the aspect ratio of the enclosure,
Hartmann number, nano-particle volume fraction, and heat source
length/location on the heat transfer inside the L-shaped enclosure. Outcomes
have been manifested in terms of isotherm lines, streamlines, local and
average Nusselt numbers. The obtained results show that addition of
nanoparticles into pure fluid leads to increase of heat transfer. The
maximum value of local Nusselt pertaining to the heat source occurs when
L=0.1. Impacts of heat source size and location, internal heat generation
absorption, angle of magnetic field on heat transfer and entropy generation
are completely analyzed and discussed. The best configuration and values of
important parameters are also presented using thermal performance criteria.
