Laminar Mixed Convection of Al2O3-Water Nanofluid in a Three-Dimensional Microchannel

The fluid flow and heat transfer in a three-dimensional microchannel filled with Al2O3- water nanofluid is numerically investigated. The hybrid scheme is used to discretize the convection terms and SIMPLER algorithm is adopted to couple the velocity and pressure field in the momentum equations....
