description Nanofluids have garnered significant interest as a potential solution to address overheating challenges across diverse industries. Researchers are actively exploring different types of nanofluids to mitigate these issues. In this study, a numerical analysis was conducted using ANSYS software to examine the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids (ranging from 0 to 4 volume fractions) in a corrugated wavy channel within the turbulent range. Various nanoparticles, including Al2O3, CuO, SiO2, and ZnO, were employed and dispersed in different base fluids such as ethylene glycol, glycerin, and water. The particle size of the nanoparticles ranged from 20 to 70 nm. The results revealed that SiO2/water-based nanofluids provide better heat transfer than all the water-based nanofluids. The maximum average Nusselt number and pressure drop of 200 and 115 Pa, respectively, were observed for SiO2 nanofluid (volume fraction of 0.04) with a particle size of 20 nm.Highlights Al2O3, CuO, SiO2 and ZnO considered in this work.Corrugated plates with three different corrugated angles of 20° to 60° are tested.Eexperiments are performed for different heat flux in turbulent range.Maximum heat transfer obtained for SiO2/water nanofluid.
