Abstract

A curved enclosure in attendance of MHD was evaluated in this article. Both outer cold and inner hot surfaces have curved shapes which boosts the convective rate. The impact of MHD in equations has been applied and there is one negative term is x direction if horizontal magnetic fields have been applied. Presence of such a field leads to generation of Lorentz force which prevents the nanofluid from moving faster. Such reduction in velocity with growth of Ha makes Nu decrease. Adding nanoparticles with greater “m” and φ can increase the convective flow. When Ra = 700, dispersing nano-powders can enhance the Nu in existence of MHD about 41.9%. When Ra = 150, Nu can improve about 12.01% if “m” is enhanced. Nu decreases around 40.1% with growth of Ha while it increases about 43.36% in existence of greater Ra.
