The effect of using nanofluids on triangular microchannel heat exchanger performance

A numerical study is performed to study the effects of using various types of nanofluids on a triangular shaped microchannel heat exchanger (MCHE). The performance of an aluminum MCHE with various types of nanofluids such as Al 2O3, CuO, SiO2, Ag and TiO2 and diamond particles with particle volume f...

The increase in pressure drop was minimal while the thermal and hydrodynamic performance of the heat exchanger was enhanced. Copyright � 2010 by ASME.
