Enhancing Thermal–Hydraulic Performance in Nuclear Reactor Subchannels with Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Nanofluids: A CFD Analysis

Enhancing Thermal–Hydraulic Performance in Nuclear Reactor Subchannels with Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Nanofluids: A CFD Analysis

In this paper, the performance of aluminum-based nanofluids with a possible application in pressurized water reactors is numerically investigated. A 605 mm long 4-rod array square (2 × 2) subchannel geometry with a uniform heat flux of 50 kW/m<sup>2</sup> has been used in CFD simulation....
