Numerical investigations on the turbulent forced convection of nanofluids flow in a triangular-corrugated channel
In this paper, turbulent forced convection of nanofluids flow in triangular-corrugated channels is numerically investigated over Reynolds number ranges of 1000-5000. Four different types of nanofluids which are Al2O3, CuO, SiO2 and ZnO-water with nanoparticles diameters in the range of 30-70 nm and...
