Simulation of Nanofluid Flow in a Micro-Heat Sink With Corrugated Walls Considering the Effect of Nanoparticle Diameter on Heat Sink Efficiency

In this numerical work, the cooling performance of water–Al2O3 nanofluid (NF) in a novel microchannel heat sink with wavy walls (WMH-S) is investigated. The focus of this article is on the effect of NP diameter on the cooling efficiency of the heat sink. The heat sink has four inlets and four outlet...
