Vertical sinusoidal walls were heated, and the other side was kept cold while both horizontal walls were kept adiabatic.

Energy and Entropy Production of Nanofluid within an Annulus Partly Saturated by a Porous Region.

The flow and heat transfer fields from a nanofluid within a horizontal annulus partly saturated with a porous region are examined by the Galerkin weighted residual finite element technique scheme.
