... including parallel (PTHEX) and counter flow (CTHEX) regarding to the numerical findings. Hybrid nanofluids have been prepared in two particle concentrations and compared with CuO/water nanofluid at the same concentrations and also with water. Findings The numerical simulation results showed that adding...

... that the flow parameters have influence on the flow fields, particularly, the flow is enhanced by increasing porosity and viscosity parameters and the concentration decreases with increasing diffusivity, whereas both the temperature and Nusselt number decrease with increasing thermal conductivity. Practical...

...–Eulerian model, are employed to calculate the velocity profiles and pressure drops across sudden expansions and contractions. The pressure losses are determined by extrapolating the computed pressure profiles upstream and downstream of the expansion/contraction. The oil concentration is varied over a wide...
