ABSTRACT = {This work focuses on numerical validation of natural convection heat transfer of TiO2-water nanofluids in a cylindrical container using COMSOL. 
The main aim of this study is to examine different available approaches to calculate effective thermal conductivity and compare them with 
experimental data available in the literature. Simulation results show that for considered mixture, average Nusselt number decreases by increasing 
Rayleigh number and particle volume fraction. It has been found that only one model was able to represent similar trends for given particle volume 
fractions, compared to experimental results.},
