In this paper, MHD effect on natural convection heat transfer in an inclined L-shape enclosure filled with nanofluid is studied. The numerical investigation is carried out using the control volume based finite element method (CVFEM). The fluid in the enclosure is a water-based nanofluid containing Al2O3 nanoparticle. The effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluid are calculated by KKL (Koo– Kleinstreuer–Li) correlation in which effect of Brownian motion on the effective thermal conductivity is considered. The heat transfer between cold and hot regions of the enclosure cannot be well understood by using isotherm patterns so heatline visualization technique is used to find the direction and intensity of heat transfer in a domain. Effect of Hartmann number, volume fraction of nanoparticle, Rayleigh number and inclination angle on streamline, isotherm and heatline are examined. The results show that Nusselt number increases with increase of Rayleigh number and volume fraction of nanoparticle while it decreases with augment of Hartmann number and inclination angle. Enhancement in heat transfer has reverse relationship with Hartmann number and Rayleigh number.
