Thermal-hydraulic performance of coolants flowing in channels with varied cross-sections and flow path geometries: A numerical study
Heat transfer and hydrodynamic characteristics are compared numerically for the straight, stepped, zigzag spiral and Archimedean helical tubes of various cross-sectional shapes under laminar flow conditions ranging between 1300 - 2500 of water and CuO-water nanofluid. The channel geometries considered are circular, squ...
