Effect of channel angle of pin-fin heat sink on heat transfer performance using water based graphene nanoplatelets nanofluids

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the angle effect of pin fin heat sink channel in terms of convective heat transfer coefficient, log mean temperature difference and thermal resistance using water-based graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) nanofluids in a flow rate range of 0.25-0.75 LPM.

Lattice Boltzmann simulation of nanofluid in lid-driven cavity

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of Reynolds number and solid volume fraction for different nanofluids on hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics are investigated, and the effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of a water-based nano-fluid is calculated by Chon and Brinkman models, respectively.

MHD mixed convection in a vertical annulus filled with Al2O3–water nanofluid considering nanoparticle migration

TL;DR: In this paper, an MHD mixed convection of alumina/water nanofluid inside a vertical annular pipe is investigated theoretically, where Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusivities are taken into account to take into account the effects of nanoparticle migration.
