Experimental investigation into convective heat transfer of nanofluid at the entrance region under laminar flow conditions / Mohammad Firdaus Che Mat

Nanofluids are suspensions of metallic or nonmetallic nanopowders in base liquid and can be used to increase heat transfer rate in various applications. Because ofits enhanced h~at transfer capability as compared to normal based fluids such as water, its was offered the engineer opportunities for de...
