Numerical simulation of natural convection of the nanofluid in heat exchangers using a Buongiorno model
TL;DR: There is an optimal volume fraction of the nano-particles at each Rayleigh number in which the maximum heat transfer rate can be obtained and at low Rayleigh numbers the particle distribution is fairly non-uniform while at high Ra, particle distribution remains almost uniform.
