Abstract A finite volume code used for detailed analysis of forced-convection flow in a horizontal channel containing eight heat sources simulating electronic components. The study deals the effect of variations of Reynolds number, the volume fraction and the good choice of type of nanoparticles added to the base fluid. The study shows that the rate of heat transfer increases with increasing Reynolds number and the volume fraction of nanofluids but not infinitely. The analysis of the dynamic and thermal field shows that the heat transfer is improved, with the increase in the Reynolds number and the volume fraction. The study also… More >
