    1. INTRODUCTION

    There are many engineering applications of enclosure

    with lid driven at different wall heating geometrical

    shapes with presence of external magnetic field. The

    effect of magnetic field is to produce a force that will

    counteract the fluid flow direction which induced by

    buoyancy force. The mechanistic of this type of forces

    due to the applied magnetic field reported in details by

    many previous researchers. However, the magnetic field

    strength plays an important role in many engineering

    requests. The mechanism of external magnetic field

    applied on electrically conducting fluid called Magneto-

    hydrodynamics (MHD). Besides, the working fluid and

    nanofluid particle properties are very important to restrict

    the convection flow. The mutually effect between the

    power index for dilatant fluid and volume fraction of

    nanoparticles on convective heat transport with presence

    magnetic field can be detected in many applications.

    These applications associated with the alternating effect of

    different cavity conditions, have typical in many thermal

    systems, electronic devices, MHD flow meter, plasma

    physics and geophysics. On the other hand, fluid type and

    geometry shape have a relevant interplay effect on flow

    pattern. These modes of flow exerted on the effect of heat

    transfer rate that occur in many actual applications like

    chemical processing. However, all applications need

    effective cooling and heat dissipation systems for all its

    work on time. Moreover, the turbulent flow modes will

    meliorates heat transfer rate. For this reason, one or more

    wall will move at suitable velocity to rising turbulent

    mode influence on the effectiveness of heat transfer rate.

    Hence, enormous papers illustrated and propose new

    enclosure conditions with lid driven dominant flush

    situation to get more superiority of convection. Marchi et

    al., 2009 [1] used the finite volume method to solve flow

    problems in square enclosure. Where, all parameters

    changed by keeping the lid velocity constant. Which

    presented second-order accuracy in the approximation

    solution to solve the governing equations with 42

    variables numerically. However, the numerical solution

    was used multiple Richardson extrapolations to degrading

    the discretization error until the achieved machine round-

    off error. On the other hand, Al-Salem et. al , 2011 [2]

    investigated a numerical technique depends on the finite

    volume method to study the MHD mixed convection

    cavity. The model was adiabatic in vertical walls as well

    as fixed temperature at the sliding top. Moreover, the heat

    source of bottom wall modeled as linearly source. This

    study used to reveals the effect of different lid movement

    directions on the heat transfer enhancement. However,

    many parameters were merged together to get new evolve

    in mixed convection behavior such as: Reynolds number

    and Grashof number that illustrated by stream function

    and isotherm contour. In addition, Billah et. Al, 2011 [3]

    solved the lid driven square cavity problem numerically

    after heated by hollow circular cylinder. The position of

    hollow cylinder is in the middle of the cavity. In Billah

    work, the moving wall was vertical left one. In contrast,

    the right vertical wall fixed. In addition, other walls,

    which thermally insulated. The same convective flow

    characteristic especially Richardson number, thermal

    conductivity for solid particles that help to produce

    nanofluid as well as Nusselt number which used to

    explore the cylinder diameter values that effect on heat

    transfer performs. The extrapolation of the mutually effect

    between these parameters that equivalent to streamlines

    and isotherm contours for multiples situations.

    Sheikholeslami, et.al, 2012 [4] investigated numerically

    by using the finite volume method the natural convection

    heat transfer of Cu-water nanofluid in a circular enclosure

    containing hot sinusoidal circular wall with the presence

    of horizontal magnetic field. It is examined the effect of

    different parameters on the fluid flow and heat transfer

    rate such as: Hartmann number range (0-100), Rayleigh

    number range (103-105), nanoparticle volume fraction (0-

    0.06) and the number of undulations (3and 6) at constant

    amplitude (A=0.5) and Prandtl number (Pr=6.2). It is

    shown that increasing the Hartmann number makes the

    isotherms parallel to each other i.e. all of the heat transfer

    process is carried out by conduction. As the Rayleigh

    number, number of undulations and nanoparticle volume

    fraction increase, the average Nusselt number increases

    and opposite effect with increasing Hartmann number.

    The enhancement of heat transfer remains constant with

    the increasing of Hartmann number on Ra=103 while, the

    maximum value of the enhancement occurs at Ha=20 and

    60 with Ra=104 and 106.

    Moreover, Bhattacharya, et. al , 2013 [5] investigated the

    trapezoidal cavity with constant top lid velocity. The

    temperature of the bottom is greater than the top wall.

    While, the sides are adiabatic with an inclination angle of

    45o.The steady flow features affected by lid moving as

    well as temperature distribution were tested. Which

    investigated the combined effects of lid velocity and

    buoyancy force on the altered convection heat transfer

    with a trapezoidal enclosure and found that the lid

    velocity plays an important role for heat transfer rate as

    well as the features of hot temperature at the bottom

    trapezoidal wall (isothermally or sinusoidal). Also, it is

    found that the heat transfer rate equivalent to the isotherm

    bottom wall condition will increase compared with non-

    isotherm. Interestingly, many researchers used non-

    Newtonian fluid to occupy the cavity regime to benefit

    from its properties to improve the predicted heat

    convection rate, for example Matin and Khan, 2013 [6]

    numerically investigated the free convection due to

    temperature difference between two concentrated

    cylinders depends on the finite volume method. Besides,

    the impacts of power-law index for non-Newton fluid

    with nanoparticles is presented and treatment in details.

    Heat and fluid flow for sinusoidal left wall of enclosure

    with Cu-water nanofluid have been studied numerically

    by Finite volume method under constant heat flux in

    Sheikholeslami, et.al, 2013 [7] Effect of governing

    parameters such as nanoparticles volume fraction (0-

    0.04), Rayleigh number (103-105), Hartmann number (0-

    100) and dimension- less amplitude of the sinusoidal wall

    (0.1-0.3) are investigated at constant Pr=6.2 through the

    isotherms, streamlines, average Nusselt numbers on the

    left wall of the enclosure. It can be shown that the

    increase of the nanoparticles volume fraction,

    dimensionless amplitude of the sinusoidal wall and

    Rayleigh number increases the average Nusselt number.

    While Nusselt number decreases with the increase of the

    Hartmann number.

    Also, Kefayati, 2014 [8] presented a numerical difference

    method depends on Lattice Boltsman Method to simulate

    the enclosure with non_Newtonian molten polymer. The

    model under consideration contains two adiabatic

    horizontal walls. While, the left wall is hot and the right

    one is heated by sinusoidal for temperature behavior.

    Moreover, it is illustrated that the power law index has

    been used to model the behavior of natural convection

    within enclosure has a wide effect on the rate of heat

    transfer. It is concluded that, the decreasing in power

    index at range (1≤ n ≤ 1.5) will enhanced the heat transfer

    rate. There are several paper deals with cavity wall

    moving to provides turbulent modes throughout the

    cavity. Another study for Kefayati, et.al, 2014 [9], deals

    with non-Newtonian power-law fluid flow in a sinusoidal

    heated cavity have been analyzed by finite difference

    Lattice Boltzmann method. A different parameters have

    been studied their effectssuch as: the Rayleigh number, Ra

    (104 and 105), Hartmann number range (0- 60) and the

    power-law index (0.5- 1.5) at constant Prandtl number Pr

    = 10. It is concluded that the enhancement of heat transfer

    increases with the increase of Rayleigh number for both

    Newtonian and Non-Newtonian while decreases with the

    increase of Hartmann number, without the magnetic field,

    heat transfer in pseudoplastic fluids is enhanced by

    decreasing the power-law index from n = 1 to 0.5 while,

    the heat transfer reduced as the power-law index increases

    from n = 1 to 1.5 in dilatant fluids. MHD free convection

    of two dimensional trapezoidal cavity with non-

    uniformaly heated bottom wall have been studied

    numerically by Hossain and Abdul Alim, 2014 [10]. The

    fluid inside the cavity is concerned with Rayleigh range

    (103 -107), Pr (0.026, 0.7, 1000), Ha number of 50 and the

  • International Journal of Mechanical & Mechatronics Engineering IJMME-IJENS Vol:20 No:01 100

    I J E N S IJENS © February 2020 IJENS -IJMME-4334-201601

    cavity tilt angle range (0o, 30o, 45o). It is found that the

    average Nusselt number for the non-uniform heating

    bottom wall increases with the increase of Rayleigh

    number and the maximum heat transfer rate near the edge

    of the wall while the minimum rate at the center of the

    wall with irrespective all of the tilt angles, all range of

    Rayleigh and different Prandtl number.

    Hussein and Hussain, 2015 [11] discussed the influence

    of MHD within the parallelogram cavity with declination

    angles. The problem investigated numerically by finite

    volume method and enclosure has two vertical sliding

    walls positioned at left and right sides. These walls move

    in a parallel direction with constant velocity. While, the

    horizontal sides of the parallelogram inclination cavity are

    thermally insulated. The cavity affected by the horizontal

    magnetic field. It is found that the rising in strength of

    Hartman number which induced by increasing the

    magnetic field strength will decrease the rate of

    convection rapidly. The heating geometry form have been

    used as a severe factor for improved or enhance enclosure

    convection flow, where, Rabbi, et. al, 2016 [12]

    elucidated and presented a suitable numerical

    investigation for comparison between two different

    bottom shapes cavity geometries, (a) triangular and (b)

    semi-circular notched cavity. The focal point was

    studying the effect of external MHD on the performance

    of pure mixed convection heat transfer for both geometry

    configurations. Moreover, these cavities filled with Ferro

    fluid, as a working fluid. In addition, it is illustrated many

    relevant factors like Richardson number, Hartman number

    and Grashof number and its contributed for flow

    convection that can be realized by average Nusselt

    number values. It is found that, semi-circular heater

    configuration cavity enhances convection heat transfer

    rate compared to triangular cavity. Moreover, the strength

    of the magnetic field will be reduced or downplays of

    convection rate. Besides, forced convection is dominant

    compared with natural convection for Ri < 0.1. Kefayati,

    2016 [13] analyzed the natural convection by using finite

    difference within square cavity affected by external

    magnetic field that exerted. The working fluid is non-

    Newtonian liquid that used to study the power law effect

    on improving the heat transfer rate. However,

    multifarious parameters like: flow type, the entropy that

    induced by heat transfer and Rayleigh number introduced

    with good analyzing. Evidently, that many exciting

    parameters and boundary conditions play as crucial effect

    for activating and improve the convective heat transfer

    within the enclosure. These multifarious factors and

    boundary conditions will be produced a complex problem

    and thus make the solution is so difficult. MHD mixed

    convection in a lid-driven cavity having a triangular

    corrugated bottom wall and filled with a non-Newtonian

    power-law fluid under the influence of an inclined

    magnetic field have been investigated by Selimefendigil

    and Chamkha, 2016 [14] under Richardson number range

    (0.01-100), Hartmann number range (0-50) and angle

    inclination of the magnetic field range (0o-90o). it is

    concluded that the local heat transfer is reduced as the

    Hartmann number increases for all power index. The

    effect of natural convection is more virtual for thining

    shear fluid while the buoyancy force is poor for dilatant

    fluid than Newtonian fluid. The local heat transfer

    enhanced as the Richardson number increased while the

    average Nusselt number decreased. Finally, the average

    Nusselt number enhanced as the inclination angle of the

    magnetic field increased.

    Bondarenko, et al, 2018 [15] illustrated the evolution in

    heat transfer rate due to mixed convection in cavity filled

    by nanofluid augment the porous media effect and moving

    the wall at the enclosure top. The impact of the

    Richardson number treated as control parameter, which is

    merging the natural and forced convection. Moreover, it is

    discussed the corresponding Nusselt number. While,

    Arpasanda and Fazeli, 2018 [16] numerically investigated

    the mixed convection with parallelogram cavity exerted

    by magnetic field MHD. Moreover, the analysis involved

    the effect of porous media and nanoliquid that filled the

    enclosure with convective effective. In addition, the flow

    parameters explored or depicted by isotherm and

    streamlines depends on the permeability and Richardson

    number. Also, Pal, et. al, 2018 [17] numerically studied

    the square enclosure that filled with Cu-water nanofluid

    and absence the magnetic field. Besides, the upper wall is

    adiabatic and having a constant horizontal velocity vector.

    In addition, the bottom wall is thick and has wavy shape.

    Many parameters discussed such as: Richardson number

    and nanoparticle volume fraction but the focal point in

    this manuscript is the effect of bottom wavy wall heating.

    Where, the numerical analyzed of lower thick and wavy

    wall heated effect has drawn attention for equivalent with

    the present research. During the last year, Bakar, et. al,

    2019 [18] studied numerically the impact of the

    inclination of magnetic field on heat transfer and flow

    pattern within the square enclosure. The numerical

    solution that done by Bakar depending on finite volume

    method. However, the square cavity consists of cold wall

    at the bottom and moving hot wall at the top in addition

    the vertical walls are thermally insulated. It is observed

    that the Nusselt number can be presented as a function of

    magnetic field angle. Where, the heat transfers rate

    increase as the angle of magnetic field increase. Also, it is

    noticed that, the increasing of Richardson number has a

    negative effect on the heat transfer rate. As mentioned

  • International Journal of Mechanical & Mechatronics Engineering IJMME-IJENS Vol:20 No:01 101

    I J E N S IJENS © February 2020 IJENS -IJMME-4334-201601

    previously by other works, for a mixed convection, the

    effect of the magnetic field has reduced the heat transfer

    rate.

    The intrinsic evolution of this study is the inclusive,

    combined effect of non-Newtonian fluid that contains

    nanoparticles Al2O3 within new enclosure heat geometry

    shapes (four cases that will be elaborated in subsequent

    articles) that motivating by external magnetic field at

    constant horizontal lid_ driven velocity. Several numerical

    methods may be used to satisfy the high accuracy of

    results for own complex problem. However, from above

    previous works and our experience found that, the finite

    element method that base on Galerkin weighted residual

    formulation where used in COMSOL Multiphysics is a

    confidential method. Besides, the bulk of researcher

    performed that the increasing of magnetic field will be

    reduced the heat transfer rate with independent of any

    other parameters. Also, it is reported that the heating

    geometry, wall shapes have the capability to increase the

    effects of convection heat flow within the enclosure.

    Moreover, the motivating contribution of power law index

    reduces the effect of the average volume fraction of

    nanofluid.

    The new shapes of heating configuration for lid driven

    enclosure are the basic reason of attraction for this distinct

    problem situation, as well as observed by tracking papers

    that survey, which cited above. However, the modern

    engineering, theoretical works of cavity that analyzed

    numerically with non-Newtonian fluid having

    nanoparticles that is relevant to mixed convection affected

    by external magnetic field with moving one wall at

    different shape of the cavity heat lower wall, depends on

    the papers above and our knowledge is not enough to

    discuss.

    2. PHYSICAL MODEL DESCRIPTION

    The problem description of the present work is displayed

    in Figure (1). It involved of the square enclosure of two-

    dimensional with width and height equal to (L). The two

    vertical sided left and right walls are thermally insulated

    with no-slip condition. Top horizontal wall kept at low

    temperature (Tc) with movement lid-driven action of

    velocity (U) from left to right direction. Bottom wall was

    kept at high temperature (Th) with no-slip condition, the

    configuration of this wall varied from sinusoidal

    semicircular to semicircular shapes with different radius.

    The enclosure occupied by a mixture of non-Newtonian

    fluid and Al2O3-water nanofluid. The thermo-physical

    properties of the nanofluid were listed in the table (1).

    Magnetic fields with strength Bo was applied in horizontal

    direction effect was considered. Many assumptions were

    considered to simplify the study such as laminar flow,

    steady state, two-dimensional, incompressible, neglect

    viscous dissipation and heat generation. Only density

    properties were considered to be variation with the

    Boussinesq approximation model.

    The mesh generation of the numerical domain is shown in Figure (2). The mesh was cluster near the boundary walls,

    while it disperse entire the domain since the change in fluid flow and heat transfer occurs strongly near the boundary walls. Table

    (2) shows the grid independency of the present study at various power law index (n), case I. Ri=1, Ra=105, ϕ=0.06 and Ha=30.

    The average Nusselt number was chosen for checked the grid independency. In this check, the solution was attained to a certain

    number of elements and begins to increase this number until obtained the solution with high accuracy to one or more independent

    variable (average Nusselt number).

    The Galerkin finite element method with the weighted residual approach was utilized to solve the non-dimensional

    governing equations. Non-extending zone in the computational domain are built up, and every independent variables are closed by

    utilizing interruption function in those zones. Finite elements with the Lagrangian scheme of various orders are used to interrupt

    the independent like as

    Interruptions were replaced into the non-dimensional governing equations to obtain in residuals for every control equation. The

    solution convergence is achieved when the errors of each independent variable is not greater than 10-6 with the following

    convergence criteria.

    The validation of the numerical code is obtained by comparing the results of the present code with a paper published by

    Kefayati, 2015 [20]. Kefayati investigated the numerical solution of mixed convection of two sided lid-driven in square enclosure.

    Figure (2) represents the comparison of streamlines and isotherms contour for different power law index and Table (3A and 3B)

    show the comparison of stream function and average Nusselt numbers. The comparison obtained excellent similarity in the fluid

    flow and heat transfer results.

    5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In this work, numerically analyzed four cases of

    enclosure that contain a non-Newtonian fluid as the

    working fluid of nanoparticle with different solid volume

    fraction adopted by external magnetic field. Each

    enclosed has a square structure with the vertical sides are

    thermally insulated while the top wall is cold and moving

    to right with constant velocity. The distinguishing

    parameters are the shape of bottom hot wall. Where, the

    first case has small wavy notched shape, the second case

    has small semicircle notched, while the bigger semicircle

    notched can be shown in the third case until the last case has a large wavy notched. The cavity geometry shape for

    all cases that presented in this manuscript can be shown in

    Figure (1). The geometry of hot wall shapes of the

    enclosure under analyzing is a distinct parameter that’s

    used to improve the convection flow within the enclosure.

    Where, this condition plays an important role to enhance

    many encountered engineering applications. Moreover,

    the relevant dimensionless parameters that used to

    investigate these cases are: Richardson numbers, Hartman

    numbers, index power law and solid volume fraction.

    Where, the range of Hartman number is 0 ≤ Ha ≤ 60, solid

    volume fraction 0 ≤ φ ≤ 0.1 and Richardson number values are 0.001 ≤ Ri ≤ 1. The range of the Richardson

    number restricted to convection type that dominant where,

    the buoyancy force effect is negligible, as well as the

    natural convection. However, When Ri=Gr/Re2

  • International Journal of Mechanical & Mechatronics Engineering IJMME-IJENS Vol:20 No:01 105

    I J E N S IJENS © February 2020 IJENS -IJMME-4334-201601

    Also, the isotherm line will declination to right at and

    distorted at (Ha=0) then try be parallel and quasi uniform

    as Harman number increase. Where, the isotherm lines

    cluster positioned adhere and covered the surface of hot

    wall for wavy cylinder in all situations. In a brief manner,

    the investigation above reveals that the power index will provoke and modified the convection heat transfer rate in

    contrast, the heat transfer is weaker, due to the

    enhancement of the intensity of external magnetic field.

    The results of Figures (5-7) are similar that to the results

    of figure (4). Nevertheless, for all cases under analyzed,

    the convection flow will slow down as magnetic field

    strength intensity increase in low Richardson number

    (Ri=0.001). Interestingly, case II has the best results

    compare with other cases, since the streamlines, function

    values are greater than the other cases. Also, it is observed

    from the corresponding figures that the stoop of isotherm

    lines is more distorted and turned to left positioned with the absence of magnetic field. The mixed convection can

    be seen when Ri=1. In this case the buoyancy force will

    be more strong compare with the low Richardson number

    (Ri=0.001) that explained before. Figures (8-11) represent

    the mixed convection effect on the behavior of

    streamlines function and isotherm contour. It is noticed

    that, the effect of the new value of Richardson number is

    to increase the size of rotating eddy in all situations for all

    cases for streamlines function. Where, the increasing

    value for Richardson number make the vortex of

    streamlines function absorb energy, due to increasing the buoyancy force. It is very evident that the behavior of

    streamlines and isotherm counter still the same for all

    cases. In fact, the streamlines function value for new value

    of Richardson number is less that of the previous figure

    with (Ri=0.001). However, the case II is still to be the best

    situation in order to improve the convective heat transfer

    rate.

    Moreover, the pertinent parameter can be used to

    investigate the modified convection heat flow is the

    average Nusselt number. However, the Figure (12)

    represents the variation of the Nusselt number at constant

    volume solid fraction (0.06) with different values of law-index number of all cavity cases by taking in account the

    magnetic field strength that observed by Hartman number

    contrast with different values for Ri number. The

    Richardson number is very benefit to realize the

    contribution of lid _driven velocity on flow behavior.

    Moreover, this figure emerges the mutual effect of

    Richardson number and Hartman numbers (0-60) for all

    cases under research. However, the Nusselt number

    reveals the effect cavity wall shape and flow features. The

    shape effect on a Nusselt number is extremely significant.

    Where, the second case has greater values for Nusselt number as comparing with the first and fourth cases

    independently on the value of power index. These results

    emphasized the effect of geometry shape of heating wall

    on heat transfer rate and Nusselt number. Moreover, the

    power index values will be enhanced the heat transfer rate

    for all cases that possess the same behavior. However, the

    maximum values of the Nusselt number adopted in the

    situation where no magnetic forces are present (Ha=0).

    On the other hand, the increase in re number will decrease

    the Nusselt number. The corresponding curves of Ha

    equal to 30 Tesla for cases III and IV imposed the unique

    response to increasing in power law index in contrast with

    cases I and II. In addition, this figure noticed that the

    cavity shape of cases III and IV would help magnetic field to enhance heat transfer rate for small range of Nusselt

    number or marginally as power index increase. Figure

    (13) shows the variation of average Nusselt number with

    the changing of the solid volume fraction. This figure

    illustrated that the average Nusselt number, hence heat

    transfer rate modified as the power index increase for all

    values of volume fraction and in all cases. It is concerned

    that, case II has the maximum value for the average of

    Nusselt number, but for a restricted volume fraction range

    (0.04 ≤ φ ≤ 0.08). This refers to that, the volume fraction

    contributing is clear and the combined effect with a

    heating geometry shape wall helped to make case II distinct. On the other hand, Figure (14) represents the

    variation of average Nusselt number with strength of

    external magnetic field that represented by Hartman

    number. This figure, highlighted the negative effect of

    Hartman number on the intensity of convection heat

    transfer rate for cases regardless other restricted values.

    6. CONCLUSION

    Many researchers have tried to discuss the parameters

    that can be used to enhance the heat transfer rate within an

    enclosure that exerted by an external magnetic field with lid driven. Several dimensionless parameters included

    through the numerical investigation. However, the

    innovation of the boundary conditions are a new heating

    geometry shape wall alternating effect with variation of

    power index parameters at different values of Richardson

    number and the solid volume fraction. The conclusion can

    be summarized in a brief manner as below:

    1. Case II of small circular notched is the best case that justified of improving forced and mixed

    convection heat transfer rate. Besides, the

    geometry shape is an important to improve or

    modified the cavity in terms of heat dissipation. Also, the solid volume fraction has a combined

    effect with the closure shape geometry for

    enhancement recirculation streamlines function

    eddy.

    2. The magnetic field strength interplay negative effect on improving the forced convection flow

    within the enclosure.

    3. The average Nusselt number increases by evolution of power index value and independent

    of shape geometry of the heating cavity wall.

    4. The isotherm contour behavior is pertinent with the Hartman number effect. Where, the strong

    magnetic field (high Hartman number)

    declination the isotherm to be uniform similar to

    that of conduction fluid and diminish the

    convection flow effect.

    5. The flow pattern can be controlled by the strength of magnetic fields and hot wall shape

    geometry as well as the nanofluid type that can

    be clarified by power index and solid volume fraction.

    There are mutually effects between power law index

    and solid volume fraction can be used to improve the flash

    situation of cavity in term of heat transfer rate with

    absence magnetic field effect depending on heating wall

    shape geometry.
