They exhibit better thermal conductivity and physical strength compared to normal fluids. Here, we conduct an evaluative investigation of the magnetized flow of water\u2013copper nanofluid and its heat transport inside a symmetrical E-shaped square chamber via mixed convective impact with a heated corner. The chamber was constructed symmetrically with an inclined magnetic field strength, and the upper surface of the chamber was isolated and set to move at a fixed velocity. The heated corner was set at a fixed hot temperature in both the left and lower directions. The right side was maintained at a fixed cold temperature, while the remaining portions of the left and lower parts were isolated. The investigation was implemented computationally, solving each of the energy and Navier\u2013Stokes models via the application of a symmetrical finite volume method. The following topics have been addressed in this study: the consequences of the magnetic field, the volumetric fraction of nanoparticles, the heat generation\u2013absorption parameters, and the effects of heat-source length and Richardson number on the fluid comportment and heat transport. The outputs of this symmetric study enabled us to arrive at the following derivation: the magnetic field reduces the fluid circulation inside the E-shaped square chamber. The augmentation of the Richardson number leads to an increase in the heat transfer. Moreover, the decrease in heat generation coefficient lowers the nanofluid temperature and weakens the flow fields.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14061159","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,4]],"date-time":"2022-06-04T09:42:32Z","timestamp":1654335752000},"page":"1159","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Magneto-Nanofluid Flow via Mixed Convection Inside E-Shaped Square Chamber"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7167-3822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hossam A.","family":"Nabwey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, College of Science and Humanities in Al-Kharj, Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, Al-Kharj 11942, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Department of Basic Engineering Science, Faculty of Engineering, Menoufia University, Shebin El-Kom 32511, Egypt"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1354-2610","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed M.","family":"Rashad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Aswan University, Aswan 81528, Egypt"}]},{"given":"Mohamed A.","family":"Mansour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Assuit University, Assuit 71515, Egypt"}]},{"given":"Taha","family":"Salah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Basic and Applied Sciences Department, College of Engineering and Technology, Arab Academy for Science & Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT), Aswan Branch, Aswan P.O.
