Numerical Simulation of Water/AlO Nanofluid Turbulent Convection

Turbulent forced convection flow of a water-Al 2 O 3 nanofluid in a circular tube subjected to a constant and uniform temperature at the wall is numerically analyzed. The two-phase mixture model is employed to simulate the nanofluid convection, taking into account appropriate thermophysical properti...
