Experimental study of cooling characteristics of water-based alumina nanofluid in a minichannel heat sink

This paper investigates experimentally the convection heat transfer of Al2O3/water nanofluid with 0–8 wt% concentrations flowing through a parallel minichannel heat sink. A uniform heat flux in the range of 1.2–6.8 W/cm2 is applied for heating the heat sink and the Reynolds number is considered in t...
