...Zahra Sarbazi; Faramarz Hormozi Purpose This study aims to numerically investigate the thermal-hydrodynamic performance of silicon oxide/water nanofluid laminar flow in the heat sink miniature channel with different fin cross-sections. The effect of the fin cross-section including semi-circular...

... that increase in thermal conductivity fin leads to decreasing thermal resistance; therefore, temperature changes in radial from center to out of fin are reduced and efficiency of fin increases. Design/methodology/approach In this regard, fin material plays a significant role in fin efficiency. Changes...

...AbdulRahim Assaad Khaled Purpose – Heat transfer inside wavy fins is analyzed in this work. The paper aim to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach – Six different types of wavy fins are considered. The fin equation for each fin type is solved using a high accurate finite...
