Abstract

In this paper, Eulerian, mixture and single phase models are used to simulate laminar and turbulent forced convective flow of SiO₂-EG nanofluid in a microtube. The comparison between the three approaches and other formula shows that for laminar and turbulent flow the single phase model shows higher heat transfer enhancement and is more precise in comparison to the other Eulerian and mixture models.
