In this paper, a numerical investigation on heat transfer performance and flow fields of different nanofluids flows through elliptic annulus in a laminar and turbulent flow regimes. The three-dimensional continuity, Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved by using finite volume method (FVM) an...
