contents This paper studies the effects of mixed convection fluid motion and heat transmission of Al2O3-Water nanofluid in a square enclosure including two heated obstacles, with temperature and nanoparticle concentration being determined by the thermal conductivity and effective viscosity. The parametric observations of Richardson number, Reynolds number, cylinder rotating speed, and cavity inclination angles are investigated in the range of 0.1 \leq Ri \leq 10, 1 \leq Re \leq 125, 1 \leq ω\leq 25, and 0^\degree \leq γ\leq 60^\degree respectively on the thermal environment and flow arrangement inside the cavitation field. Adding nanoparticles to the base fluid enhances the heat transfer rate for both obstacles and all ranges of the parameters. The influence of wavy walls, changes in the nanofluid, and distinct positional effects also impact the flow characteristics and heat transfer process.
