1. Introduction

The real heat transfer processes associated with the change of some form of energy into thermal energy have the possibility of involving internal heat absorption. Heat transfer and fluid flow phenomena with heat absorption is associated with large temperature gradient which is frequently met in several engineering and thermal processes such as, in the combustion chamber, in thermal control of space ships, in casting and blading of gas turbines and in spent fuel storage [1], in post-accident heat removal [2], in engine cooling system and in insulation of buildings etc.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Natural convection flows happen in many practical phenomenon caused by sink. The importance of heat sink increases in those flows where the chemical reaction occurs. A change due to heat absorption occurs in temperature distribution, particle decomposition rate in semiconductor products and nuclear

PT

reactors. Therefore, heat absorption, convection and conduction phenomena would have to be determined simultaneously.

Ahmed [8] explored natural convection in porous triangular enclosure using nanofluid and heat generation.

Particularly, nanofluid is a fluid which has nanoparticles with size 1 to 100 nm spread in the fluid like

water, ethylene, engine oil, menthol and glycol. Nanofluid can play vital role in the creation of new

TE

technologies for industrial and engineering processes. It can flow smoothly because they are so small to act similar to liquid molecules. Thermal conductivity of nanofluid with dispersed non-metallic or

AC CE P

metallic particles are expected to be considerably greater than common heat transfer liquids. Consequently, the dispersed nanoparticles can considerably modify the thermal and transport properties of the base fluid. The considerable augmentation of convective heat transfer by forced convection has widely been studied [9-15]. The research on nanofluid has been focused mostly as it finds applications in various fields such as nano-drug delivery and advanced nuclear systems, etc. Therefore, all the normal heat transfer mods can be used for nanofluid only if the properties of base fluids are interchanged by nanofluid. Nanofluid can play vital role in the innovation of new technologies for industrial and engineering processes. The natural convection flow process commonly takes place in nature and also in several physical phenomenon such as combustion modeling, fire engineering, nuclear reactor cooling, petroleum reservoir, heat exchangers and in many industrial applications. The basic flow phenomena arises due to the buoyancy effects, which is generated from temperature difference. In natural convection flow heat transfer phenomena are the integral part and is regulated by bouncy effects which is generated from diffusion of thermal energy [16]. Consequently, neglecting the other effects, buoyancy term is combined with the Navier-Stoke’s equation and energy equations. In most of the physical situations 2

It is assumed that all material properties of the fluid are constant except the density which varies with temperature. The wall temperature is denoted by and is the ambient temperature such that , temperature dependent heat absorption is described as the amount absorbed per unit volume and is the heat absorption constant.
