Comparative Study of Thermal Performance of Different Nanofluids in a Double Backward-Facing Step Channel: A Numerical Approach

Two-dimensional numerical simulations are conducted to study forced convection flow of different water-based nanofluids (ZnO, Al2O3, and SiO2) with volume fractions (ϕ) = 0–5% and fixed nanoparticle size (dp) = 20 nm for Reynolds numbers (Re) = 50–225 over a double backward-facing step with an expan...
