    Abstract

    Numerical code based on steam function formulation for scrutinizing the nanomaterial flow and heat transfer within the porous container with sinusoidal hot surface has been developed in this study. The model involves the impression of Lorentz force and buoyancy force has the main role in movement of nanomaterial. Shape of nano-powders and their concentrations have been selected as two other factors. The validation test has been done according to the previous paper which means that present code has good accommodation. In presence of Ha, the Nu declines about 26.5 %. Augmenting Ra in absence of Ha, makes Nu to increase about 28.64 %. When Ha = 0 and 15, loading nanoparticles makes the Nu enhance about 28.18 % and 42.82 %. Augmenting m causes the Nu to increase around 11.94 % and outputs showed that loading nanoparticles has greater impact in presence of magnetic field.
