... a novel approach to improve the cooling performances of a film-cooled flat plate with better cooling uniformity by using embedded mini-channels. Despite the widespread application of microchannels and mini-channels in thermal and fluid flow analysis, the application of mini-channels for blade cooling...

...Oluwole Daniel Makinde Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the combined effects of viscous dissipation and Newtonian heating on boundary-layer flow over a flat plate for three types of water-based nanofluids containing metallic or nonmetallic nanoparticles such as copper (Cu...
