The micro-tube heat transfer and fluid flow of water based Al2O3 nanofluid with viscous dissipation

The influence of viscous dissipation on the unsteady conjugate forced convection heat transfer from a fluid sphere

“…The results presented in [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] (and the references cited herein) show that viscous dissipation is a strong function of the geometry of the system, Reynolds number, Brinkman number, Prandtl (or Peclet) number, Knudsen number (only for problem (ii) -the Knudsen number refers to the degree of rarefaction) and the Gebhart number (only for problem (iv)). The conclusion drawn in [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] is: ignoring viscous dissipation could affect accurate flow simulations and measurements.…”

“…(i) heat transfer in micro-heat-sinks for regular fluids flow [1,2] or for nanofluids flow [3,4]; (ii) heat transfer for laminar slip flow in micro-tubes, [5][6][7][8][9]; (iii) heat transfer in cavities with an inner rotating cylinder, [10]; (iv) thermo-convective instability in regular fluids or fluid-saturated porous medium, [11] (and the references cited herein).…”

The particle thermal conductivity influence of nanofluids on thermal performance of the microtubes

“…Differences obtained for Nu were smaller than 0.1%, so the coarser grid has been used for further calculations. Additionally, the validation of numerical results for laminar nanofluid flow has been made in Lelea and Nisulescu [18] and Lelea [19].…”

Effect of Magnetic Field on Entropy Generation in a Microchannel Heat Sink with Offset Fan Shaped

“…Many studies analyzed the convective heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids in microchannel heat sink [3][4][5][6][7]. Li and Kleinstreuer [8] numerically studied CuO-water nanofluid flow in a trapezoidal microchannel.…”
