Numerical Study of Entropy Generation in a Flowing Nanofluid Used in Micro- and Minichannels

This article mainly concerns theoretical research on entropy generation influences due to heat transfer and flow in nanofluid suspensions. A conventional nanofluid of alumina-water (Al2O3-H2O) was considered as the fluid model. Due to the sensitivity of entropy to duct diameter, mini- and microchann...
