碩士 === 國立虎尾科技大學 === 車輛工程系碩士班 === 105 === In this study, CFD application software FLUENT is used to simulate the heat transfer characteristics of a wavy channel filled with nanofluids. This study focuses on changing the concentration of nanofluids, changing the amplitude ratio of the wave channel and the number of cycles on the mean Nusselt number. This study result shows that the mean Nusselt number increases as the volume fraction of nanoparticle increases. Furthermore, the amplitude of the wave channel can affect the heat transfer performance within the channel. In addition, changes in the number of wave channel cycles can also affect the heat transfer performance within the channel.
