Hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of nanofluids in uniformly heated 2-D and axi-symmetric passages

In the present paper, the effects of adding nanoscale metallic particles on the hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of laminar liquid flow (water and ethylene glycol) through two-dimensional and axi-symmetric passages are numerically investigated. The present numerical results are obtained using a 2D finite-volume code which solves the...
