A Review of Forced Convection Heat Transfer Enhancement and Hydrodynamic Characteristics of a Nanofluid

The low thermal properties of liquids have led to investigations into additives of small size (less than 10 0 nm solid particles) to enhance their heat transfer properties and hydrodynamic fl ow. To summarise the experimental and numerical studies, this paper reviews these computational simulation...
