Thermal dispersion effect on fully developed free convection of nanofluids in a vertical channel

The effect of thermal dispersion on the steady free convection flow of a nanofluid in a vertical channel is investigated numerically using a single phase model. Considering the laminar and fully developed flow regime a simplified mathematical model is obtained. In the particular cases when solid pha...
