This study examines the turbulent heat transfer characteristics of Al2O3–Cu hybrid nanofluids in circular ducts with triangular rib configurations. Numerical simulations were conducted for a 25 cm long, -cm high duct with walls maintained at 313 K. Hybrid nanofluids enter at 298 K, with triangular r...
