“…Constant heat flux [25,28] and constant temperature [24,29] boundary conditions have been investigated. Studies have also been reported on flow and heat transfer in compact passages such as micro channels [26,30]. A comparison of the convective heat transfer coefficients for different nanofluids at various flow and heat transfer conditions reported in the literature [23-35] is shown in Table 3.…”

Nanoparticle suspensions (nanofluids) have been recommended as a promising option for various engineering applications, due to the observed enhancement of thermophysical properties and improvement in the effectiveness of thermal phenomena. A number of investigations have been reported in the recent past, in order to quantify the thermo-fluidic behavior of nanofluids. This review is focused on examining and comparing the measurements of convective heat transfer and phase change in nanofluids, with an emphasis on the experimental techniques employed to measure the effective thermal conductivity, as well as to characterize the thermal performance of systems involving nanofluids.

“…Koo and Kleinstreuer [12], Jang and Choi [13] and Chein and Huang [14] have studied experimentally improving thermal performance of the nanofluids flow in microchannel with different nanofluid such as CuO-water or Al 2 O 3 -water. The thermal performance of microchannels using nanofluids base on different models for effective thermal conductivity also has been investigated numerically by [15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

The Reynolds number in nanofluids studies depends on the inlet velocity and the kinematic viscosity of nanofluid. The nanofluid kinematic viscosity increases with an increasing in nanoparticles volume fraction while the inlet velocity should be increased to keep the Reynolds number constant. Therefore, it is not clear that either increasing the nanoparticles volume fraction or increasing the inlet velocity has major role on heat transfer enhancement in nanofluids flow studies which are done at constant Reynolds numbers. In this study, forced convection Al 2 O 3 -water nanofluid flows in two-dimensional rectangular microchannels have been investigated to study heat transfer enhancement due to addition of the nanoparticles to the base fluid especially in microchannels at low Reynolds number.
