Second Law Analysis of AlO-Water Nanofluid Turbulent Forced Convection in a Circular Cross Section Tube with Constant Wall Temperature

The present paper proposes an analysis based on the second principle of thermodynamics applied to a water-Al 2 O 3 nanofluid. The nanofluid flows inside a circular section tube subjected to constant wall temperature. The aim of the investigation is to understand, by means of an analytical model, how...
