Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Reviewer's Comments (Major Revision):
1- Why the same relationships have not been used to calculate the properties of different nanofluids. It seems that Brownian motion effect have been considered for ZnO nanoparticles, while this effect has not been considered for Al2O3, SiO2 nanoparticles.
2- The details of the numerical calculations should be added to the paper (Numerical solution method, Method accuracy, Convergence criterion).
3- Have the authors developed a homemade code or used a software to solve the governing equations.
4- Show the grid used inside the computational domain.
5- Please describe the streamlines by providing suitable figures.
6- Some writing mistakes are observed and the author should read the paper again and correct them.
7- The manuscript can be improved by addressing the following paper:
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmmm.2023.170354,
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icheatmasstransfer.2019.104411

Reviewer 3 Report
My suggestion is a major revision.
1- I think the abstract is too long.
2- The references given in the introduction are very few. The introduction should be enriched with much newer references.
3- Describe exactly the novelty aspect of your research.
4- The results should be examined at other temperatures (other than 288 K).
5- The synergistic effect of adding Al2O3, SiO2, and ZnO to the fluid should be discussed more deeply.
6- What is the advantage of your research compared to similar research?
7- Be sure to compare your research with similar articles in the table.

· - What are the limitations of this study? I recommend the authors to highlight this topic.
· Is it possible to show the steps of the work in terms of a flowchart?

· The abstract should be supported by data and numbers from the main obtained results.
· One-inline-text about the validation should be mentioned at the end of the abstract.
· The conclusion was not formulated in a proper way where the author talks about the main objective and methodology mostly, and this is not the way the conclusion would be formulated. The conclusion of the current paper must be rewritten in such a way that the conclusion stats with a brief description about the main objective and methodology, and then, the main conclusion points obtained from the results should be mentioned in detail within the text supported by numbers and data.
· Improve the introduction. Include additional references that are current (less than 5 years old) there are 0 of 9 references that are less than 5 years old
