Abstract

To study the natural convection and entropy generation of a semicircular cavity containing a heat source under the magnetic field, based on the single-phase lattice Boltzmann method, a closed cavity model with a heat source in the upper semicircular (Case 1) and lower semicircular cavity (Case 2) is proposed. The cavity is filled with CuO-H 2 O nanofluid, and the hot heat source is placed in the center of the cavity. The effects of Rayleigh number, Hartmann number and magnetic field inclination on the average Nusselt number and the entropy generation of the semicircular cavity are studied. The results show that the increase in the Rayleigh number can promote the heat transfer performance and entropy generation of nanofluids. When the Hartmann number is less than 30, the increasing function of the Hartmann number at the time of total entropy generation reaches its maximum when the Hartmann number reaches 30. As the Hartmann number increases, the total entropy generation is the decreasing function of the Hartmann number. The larger the Hartmann number, the greater the influence of the magnetic field angle system. Under the same Hartman number, with the increase in the Rayleigh number, the flow function of Case 2 increases by 29% compared with that of Case 1. The average Nusselt number of heat source surfaces in Case 2 increases by 5.77% compared with Case 1.
