PurposeThis paper aims to concentrate on the impacts of a discrete heat source location on heat transfer and entropy generation for a Ag-water nanofluid in an open inclined L-shaped cavity.Design/methodology/approachThe governing partial differential equations for this study are computed by the finite volume method.FindingsThe results show that increasing the inclination angle leads to a rise in heat transfer. It is clear with the increase in the nanoparticles volume fraction that the thermal performance reduces, and it increases when the inclination angle increases.Originality/valueBecause of the continuous literature survey, the authors have not found a study that concentrates on the entropy generation in a wide variety of irregular ducts. Thus, in this paper, they present the analysis of entropy generation in an L-shaped duct experiencing a mixed convective flow with a nanofluid. The authors deal with this geometry because it is very useful in cooling systems of nuclear and chemical reactors and electronic components.
