The phenomenon of mixed convection heat transfer in a homogeneous mixture is deliberated thoroughly in this study for cooper-water nanofluids flowing inside a lid-driven square cavity.  By adopting the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation and using the single-phase nanofluid model, the governing partial differential equations modeling the present flow are stated mathematically based on the Navier--Stokes and thermal balance formulations, where the important features of the scrutinized medium are presumed to remain constant at the cold temperature.  Note here that the density quantity in the buoyancy body force is a linear temperature-dependent function.  The characteristic quantities are computed realistically via the commonly used phenomenological laws and the more accurate experimental correlations.  A feasible non-dimensionalization procedure has been employed to derive the dimensionless conservation equations.  The resulting nonlinear differential equations are solved numerically for realistic boundary conditions by employing the fourth-order compact finite-difference method (FOCFDM).  After performing extensive validations with the previously published findings, the dynamical and thermal features of the studied convective nanofluid flow are revealed to be in good agreement for sundry values of the involved physical parameters.  Besides, the present numerical outcomes are discussed graphically and tabularly with the help of streamlines, isotherms, velocity fields, temperature distributions, and local heat transfer rate profiles.
