This study investigates the convective heat transfer of a hybrid nanofluid filled in a triangular cavity subjected to a constant magnetic field and heated by a constant heat flux element from below. The inclined side of the cavity is cooled isothermally while the remaining sides are thermally insulated. The finite difference method with the stream function-vorticity formulation of the governing equations has been utilized in the numerical solution.

The problem of unsteady conjugate natural convection and entropy generation within a semicircular porous cavity bounded by solid wall of finite thickness and conductivity has been investigated numerically. The governing partial differential equations with the corresponding initial and boundary conditions have been solved by the finite difference method using the dimensionless stream function, vorticity, and temperature formulation.
