Abstract
The effect of magnetic field inclination and double lid‐driven on the mixed convection in a square cavity is investigated based on the local thermal non‐equilibrium model. The cavity was filled with a copper–water micropolar nanofluid saturated with a porous medium. The top and bottom walls are considered moving to the left or right directions at a constant velocity. In the current work, the ranges of parameters are as follow: Hartmann number (0 ≤ Ha ≤ 50), length of the heat source (0.2 ≤ B ≤ 0.8), Richardson number (0 ≤ Ri ≤ 10), Reynolds number (0 ≤ Re ≤ 100), location of the heat source (0.3 ≤ D ≤ 0.7), vortex to molecular viscosity ratio (0 ≤ Δ ≤ 2), Nield number (1 ≤ Q ≤ 100) and solid volume fraction (0 ≤ φ ≤ 0.1). It was found that the heat transfer decreases as the dimensionless heat source location and the Nield number increase. Also, the growing in the Nield number enhances the rate of the heat transfer for the porous phase and increases the thermal equilibrium state of the system.
