ABSTRACT = {In this work, a computational study of convective heat transfer in a hybrid CNT-Al2O3/water nanofluid cavity filled. The main considered parameters 
are the Rayleigh number and nanoparticles volume fraction. Results are presented in terms of flow structure, temperature field, and average Nusselt 
number. Since CNT and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> have different shapes to models are used to evaluate the effective thermal conductivity. It was found that both increasing 
Rayleigh number and nanoparticles volume fraction increase the heat transfer intensify the flow and affect the temperature field. Adding nanoparticles 
enhances the heat transfer due to the enhancement of the effective thermal conductivity. The maximum percentage of heat transfer enhancement occurs 
at the transition regime (Ra = 10<sup>4</sup>
) and is equal to 28%.},
