Numerical Simulation of Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics of CuO-Water Nanofluids in a Flat Tube

In this paper, water and CuO-water nanofluids are selected as working fluids. The characteristics of fluid flow and heat transfer in a heat transfer tube are analyzed by means of numerical simulation. The effect of nanofluid concentration on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the flat tub...
