Abstract Current communication candidly explicates entropy generation process generated due to natural convective heating in square enclosure saturated with nanofluid. Water is used as base fluid and Cu particles are induced to depict enhancement in thermo physical characteristics. Natural convection in enclosure is produced by providing temperature difference on boundaries. Upper wall is provided uniform temperature while rest of walls are kept cold. Impermeability and non-slip conditions are imposed on all walls. Mathematical structuring of considered problem is manifested via continuity, momentum and energy equations under appliance of inclined magnetic field. Thermo physical properties of nanoparticles along with base liquids are used during mathematical structuring. Finite element procedure is adopted to elucidate flow features. Discretization of domain is done by applying hybrid meshing. Velocity and isothermal plots are drawn against concerning parameters. Comprehensive description of energy generation by measuring variation in magnetic, viscous, total and thermal irreversibility’s are also presented. Cut lines representing velocity field in horizontal and vertical direction are also drawn to predict flow behavior at different locations.
