Mixed convection heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of the copper oxide-heat transfer oil (CuO-HTO) nanofluid in vertical tube

In this paper, the mixed natural-forced convection is experimentally investigated for the heat transfer oil-copper oxide (HTO-CuO) nanofluid flow upward in a vertical tube. The flow regime is laminar and the temperature of the tube surface is constant. The effect of the nanoparticles concentration o...
