There were errors in the original publication [1]. In Abstract and Introduction, any reference to “heat transfer (HT) irreversibility,” “fluid friction (FF) irreversibility,” or “Bejan number” is erroneous and should be removed. Any reference to “wave number” should be corrected to “zigzag number,” which is the relevant parameter in the study. The corrected Abstract and the corrected sentence in the last paragraph of the Introduction appear below, respectively. In a magnetic field, two-dimensional (2D) mixed convection is investigated within a zigzagged trapezoidal chamber. The lower side of the trapezoidal chamber is irregular, in particular, a zigzagged wall with different zigzag numbers N. The fluid particles move in the room due to the motion of the upper wall, while the porosity-enthalpy approach represents the melting process. The thermal parameters of the fluid are enhanced by what is called a nano-encapsulated phase change material (NEPCM) consisting of polyurethane as the shell and a nonadecane as the core, while water is used as the base fluid. In order to treat the governing equations, the well-known Galerkin finite element method (GFEM) is applied. In addition, the heat transfer (HT) and the dynamic behavior of flow are treated in terms of average Nusselt number and contours of streamlines. The main results show that the melt band curve of heat capacity behaves almost parabolically at smaller values of Reynolds number (Re) and larger values of Hartmann number (Ha). Moreover, minimizing the zigzag number is better in order to obtain a higher heat transfer rate. In addition, a comparative study of the heat transfer and the dynamic behavior of flow in terms of average Nusselt number and contours of streamlines has been presented. In Section 2.1. Mathematical Modeling and Equations, Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4, the term of porosity must be added to the momentum equations. The Equations (2), (3), (8) and (9) should be updated to the following: (Formula presented.) (Formula presented.) (Formula presented.) (Formula presented.) In Section 2.1. Mathematical Modeling and Equations, Paragraph 4, Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 9, there is no cylinder inside the cavity, and any reference to a “cylinder” or “diameter D” is incorrect and should be disregarded. The pressure in Equation (6), the Reynolds Number in Equation (11) and the definition for the average Nusselt number at the zigzag wall in Equation (16) should be updated to the following: (Formula presented.) (Formula presented.) (Formula presented.) The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

This work aims to contribute to the positive evolution towards a green world and green energy by studying the natural convection of Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Material NEPCM in an inverted U-shaped cavity. The side walls of the cavity are kept at a cold temperature, while the upper corrugated wall and the lower wall are insulated with the expectation of the hot square body. The governing equations were solved numerically using the Galerkin finite element method (GFEM). The effects of the following factors on the heat transfer rate are presented and discussed: Rayleigh number (Ra = 103–106), number of ripples of the upper wall (N = 1–4), position of the square body (left, centre, and right), volume fraction of nanoparticles (ϕ = 0–0.08), and magnetic field strength (Ha = 0–100). It was found that the effect of N on the heat transfer rate was insignificant, while increasing ϕ reduced the heat transfer rate. In addition, placing the square body near the cold sidewalls (left or right position) improved the averaged Nusselt number (Nuavg), especially at low values of Ra. At the highest Ra studied, increasing Ha reduced the Nuavg by 15 %.
