Numerical evaluation of laminar heat transfer enhancement in nanofluid flow in coiled square tubes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Convective heat transfer can be enhanced by changing flow geometry and/or by enhancing thermal conductivity of the fluid. This study proposes simultaneous passive heat transfer enhancement by combining the geometry effect utilizing nanofluids inflow in coils. The...
