Numerical simulation of forced convection heat transfer of laminar cuo-water nanofluid flow through a horizontal 180 degree curve pipe / Hamed Khajeh Arzani

A fluid formed by suspending Nano-scaled metallic or non-metallic particles in base fluids is called a nanofluid. Laminar forced convection heat transfer of the CUO-water nanofluid in a pipe with a return bend is analysed by using a finite volume method. The effects of nanoparticles concentrations a...
