Cooling performance of Al2O3-water nanofluid flow in a minichannel with thermal buoyancy and wall conduction effects

The effect of highly conductive thick walls on the mini channel heat transfer performance is systematically addressed while two constant heat flux sources are considered at the bottom of the channel. The influence of using different mass fractions of Al2O3 nanoparticles dispersed in water as working...
