Abstract

Although the various structures of the heat sinks are useful to improve heat dissipation, nanofluids flowing through the heat sink expedite the heat transfer significantly. The relationship between the relative roughness height and the Nusselt number is taken into account in the section. The relationship between the mass flow rates of the nanofluids and the heat transfer coefficient is presented. Also, the relationship between entropy generation of the nanofluids, flow direction, and the ratio of fin length to fin interval are included in the section.
