Thermal and Fluid Dynamic Performance Comparison of Three Nanofluids in Microchannels Using Analytical and Computational Models

The fluid dynamic and thermal performance of three nanofluids containing aluminum oxide, copper oxide, and silicon dioxide nanoparticles dispersed in 60:40 ethylene glycol and water base fluid as a coolant in a microchannel heatsink are compared here by two methods. The first is a simple analytical...
