This manuscript reviews most of the available papers on the nanofluids convection in different shapes of cavities and enclosures, applying a magnetic field. The papers have been categorized into two major classes: natural convection and mixed convection. Important research have been described more and then two tables demonstrate a summary of the papers. Statistical considerations are mentioned to realize some helpful information on the scope. Most of the results demonstrated that the heat transfer usually enhances with an increase in nanoparticles volume concentration and Rayleigh number and shows inverse behavior with growth in the Hartmann number. The average Nusselt number will decrease with any increase in the Richardson number. Moreover, magnetohydrodynamic constraints the heat transfer and therefore, can play as an applicable controller of heat transfer applications.
