Effect of using hybrid nanofluid and vortex generator on thermal performance of plate?fin heat exchanger: numerical investigation

Performance improvement of heat exchangers is important since their size and manufacturing cost can be decreased. This study aims to evaluate two techniques, namely use of nanofluid and employment of vortex generator (VG) applicable in performance improvement of a fin?plate heat exchanger. In the pr...
