| description | Combined natural and Marangoni convection phenomena have been examined within
a right-angled trapezoidal enclosure filled with water-based nanofluids. The alumina
water-based nanofluid is used throughout this study. The model is configured in such a
way that the top and bottom walls are fixed to be adiabatic, the left vertical wall of the
trapezoidal enclosure is heated uniformly, the right inclined wall is cooled at a constant
temperature, and the surface tension gradient is added at the top wall. It is presumed that
the flow will be incompressible, two-dimensional, laminar, and Newtonian. A number
of the physical parameters are subjected to change to investigate each variable’s impact
on the total heat transfer rate. The shape and volume fraction of the nanoparticles, the
enclosure aspect ratio, the tangential surface tension strength, and the top wall length
are all systematically manipulated to locate the parameter combinations that are the most
appropriate for specific applications. The physical model that is being suggested is used as
the basis for deriving the governing equations and boundary conditions. The controlling
set of partial differential equations is dimensionless by using appropriate dimensionless
variables. The derived nondimensionalised equations are then solved numerically using
the finite element method (FEM) for the two-dimensional numerical approach. A suitable
numerical approach is designed to discover the analytical solution of heat transfer and fluid
flow in the enclosure. The numerical results are validated by comparing them with prior
published investigations. The flow and temperature, including the heat transfer rate inside
the enclosure, are recorded graphically.
