A comprehensive comparison of various CFD models for convective heat transfer of Al2O3 nanofluid inside a heated tube

This study presents a comprehensive comparison between various models in numerical/CFD approaches to investigate a case study of the laminar forced convection flow of Al2O3/water nanofluid with 1.6% volume fraction and Re=1600 in a heated tube. The quantitative deviation in Nusselt number for the ca...
