TL;DR: Based on the effective medium approximation and the fractal theory for the description of nanoparticle cluster and its radial distribution, a method for modeling the effective thermal conductivity of "nanofluid" is established as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The single-phase forced convective heat transfer and flow characteristics of water in microchannel structures/plates with small rectangular channels having hydraulic diameters of 0.133 -0.367 mm were investigated experimentally.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the single-phase forced-flow convection of water or methanol flowing through microchannels with rectangular cross-section and found that the fully developed turbulent convection regime was initiated at about Re = 1000-1500.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the single-phase forced-flow convection and boiling characteristics of subcooled liquid flowing through microchannels with a cross-section of 0.6 × 0.7 mm, machined on the stainless steel plate 2 mm thick.

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical simulation of the boiling flow of R141B in a horizontal coiled tube was performed using the VOF multiphase flow model, and the corresponding experiments were conducted to investigate the boiling flows.
