Popis: The aim of the current numerical simulation was to understand the effects of the temperature-dependent properties of viscosity and thermal conductivity on the buoyant convection of cold water around its density extremum in a tilting chamber. The equations for thermal conductivity and viscosity were derived based on the reference temperature parameter. The entropy generation and cup mixing temperature were also calculated. The governing mathematical model was solved by the finite-volume-based iterative technique. The obtained results were deliberated for several values of inclination angles and for the density reversal parameter for variable viscosity and thermal conductivity cases. It was detected that density inversion has a strong effect on stream and thermal patterns through the development of a bi-cellular arrangement due to density inversion.
