Entropy generation analysis of different nanofluid flows in the space between two concentric horizontal pipes in the presence of magnetic field: Single-phase and two-phase approaches
TL;DR: Entropy generation analysis of different nanofluid flows in the space between two concentric horizontal pipes in the presence of magnetic field by using of single-phase and two-phase approaches was carried out and found that in all states, the Nusselt number is higher in two- Phase model than in single- phase model.
