Effects of wall slip and nanoparticles' thermophoresis on the convective heat transfer enhancement of nanofluid in a microchannel

Heat transfer enhancement with nanofluid appears to be an attractive work in recent years. In present work, a numerical formulation based on the Buongiorno model for convective heat transfer using Al2O3-water nanofluid accounted for the effects of Brownian motions and thermophoresis of nanoparticles...
