Numerical simulation of laminar forced convection heat transfer of Al2O3–water nanofluid in a pipe with return bend

TL;DR: In this article, the average Nusselt number in the return bend appears higher than that in the inlet and outlet pipes due to the secondary flows, and the pressure drop in the pipe largely increases with the increment of nanoparticle volume concentration.
