Cu-Al2O3 Water Hybrid Nanofluid Transport in a Periodic Structure
The present work is a computational investigation of nanofluid and hybrid nanofluid transport in a periodic structure. The governing equations for this work along with the appropriate boundary conditions are solved using the finite-volume method. The simulations are carried out using five wavy ampli...
