A numerical simulation validated experimentally for thermally developing convection characteristics of a phase change nanofluid flow in a circular tube

The present work aims to examine the heat transfer effectiveness of laminar forced convection for water-based Nano-PCM emulsion flow through a pipe. Over a finite length of the wall, the pipe is uniformly heated with a uniform heating flux. An approximate enthalpy model is employed for the formulati...
