In this paper, natural convection and radiation heat transfer of alumina-water nano-fluid in a square chamber at 45° has been simulated. The right wall of the chamber is cold, and there is a warm vane in the chamber. The vane can change form into horizontal ellipse, vertical ellipse, and circle. The...
