dc.description.abstractLaminar mixed convection of an Al2O3/water nanofluid inside a vertical channel is investigated numerically. Single-phase and two-phase Eulerian models are employed to analyze flow and thermal fields of the nanofluid in conjunction with the suitable expressions for the particle viscosity and effective particle thermal conductivity. The results of two-phase Eulerian model are compared with the single-phase model and with the published experimental data. Effects of the solid volume fraction, Reynolds number and Grashof number on the heat transfer performance of the nanofluid are investigated and discussed in detail. © 2016 World Scientific Publishing Company.
