Abstract In this attempt, influence of Lorentz forces on Fe 3 O 4 –water nanofluid is presented. Radiation source term is taken in to account in energy equation. Newly suggested model is imposed for viscosity of ferrofluid. Control Volume based Finite Element Method is selected to simulate this article. Graphs have been portrayed in order to explain the roles of Radiation parameter( Rd ), inclination angle( ξ ), Fe 3 O 4 -water volume fraction( ϕ ), Hartmann( Ha ) and Rayleigh ( Ra )numbers. Obtained findings indicate that Nusselt number enhances with augment of inclination angle. Rate of heat transfer augments with enhance of buoyancy forces, radiation parameter but it reduces with rise of Lorentz forces.
