description A numerical model for determining the characteristics of flow and heat has been presented by modifying the eddy diffusivity equation of Sarma et al. The experimental data of thermo-physical properties determined using spherical particles in a wide range of concentration, particle size, materials and operating temperatures are available in the literature. The numerical analysis employed equations, which were developed using the experimental data of thermo-physical properties, friction factor and Nusselt number. Based on the agreement of the numerical results with the experimental data, the influence of concentration and temperature on the turbulent characteristics is presented. It is observed that SiO2 nanofluid attained higher velocity and lower eddy diffusivity compared to Cu nanofluid at a concentration. The temperature gradient increases with concentration and decreases with temperature.
