Use of a magnetic field, wavy wall heat exchanger and dispersion of nanoscale particles are the new methods for improving the thermal systems performance containing fluid flow and heat transfer. Flow vortex, which is formed by means of chips, or appendages such as blades or fins, is very effective in improving the heat transfer rate. In this study, the effect of magnetic field application and vortex generator on the flow field and heat transfer in compulsory displacement is investigated separately and simultaneously inside the wavy wall heat exchanger. In the present work, a wavy wall heat exchanger is simulated in various geometries of the Vertex generator under magnetic fields in various Hartmann and Reynolds numbers filled with nanofluid. The system of nonlinear governing equations is solved explicitly using a fluent software based on the basic pressure solver and finite volume method. The results show that with increasing Reynolds number, the Nusselt number and friction coefficient increase and decrease respectively. As the Hartman number increases, the Nusselt number increases and the friction coefficient decreases.
