Effect of nanoparticles size on thermal performance of nanofluid in a trapezoidal microchannel-heat-sink
چکیده انگلیسی

This paper deals with spherical nanoparticles size effects on thermal performance and pressure drop of a nanofluid in a trapezoidal microchannel-heat-sink (MCHS). Eulerian–Eulerian two-phase numerical approach is utilized for forced convection laminar, incompressible and steady three dimensional flow of copper-oxide nanoparticles with water as base fluid at 100 to 200 nm diameter and 1% to 4% volume concentration range. Continuity, momentum, energy and volume conservation equations are solved at whole of the computational domain via finite volume method. Obtained results signify that pressure drop increases 15% at Re = 500 and 1% volume concentration while nanoparticles diameter increases from 100 to 200 nm. By increasing volume concentration, nanoparticles size effect becomes more prominent and it is observed that increment rate of pressure drop is intensified for above 150 nm particles diameter. Unlike the pressure drop, heat transfer decreases with an increase in nanoparticles diameter. Also, it is observed that with an increase in nanoparticles diameter, average Nusselt number of base fluid decreases more than that of the nanoparticles and this signifies that base fluid has more efficacy on thermal performance of copper-oxide nanofluid.
