An innovative design of a high strength and low weight sudden micro expansion by considering a nanofluid: Electronic cooling application

The present study has been numerically surveyed the effect of different expansion angles on the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of a sudden expansion in a microtube. For this purpose, Cu/water nanofluids flowing with Reynolds numbers (Re) of 10, 25, 50, and 100 through expansion angl...
