Numerical study of the use of shear-thinning nanofluids in a microchannel heat sink with different pin densities and including vortex generator

This article numerically investigates the thermal and hydraulic performance of shear-thinning nanofluids when used as heat-conducting fluids in a microchannel heat sink device. Five geometries are evaluated: four with different pin densities and one with vortex generators. Six Reynolds numbers are s...
