Advances in the effect of nanofluids on flow and convective heat transfer in micro/mini-channels
The recent research results on the effect of nanofluids on convective heat transfer in micro/mini-channel with different structures were reviewed in this work.The effects of single and hybrid nanofluids on the flow and heat transfer character-istics in micro/mini-channel of different structures and their heat transfer mechanisms were summarized and analyzed.Finally,based on the results of the aforementioned generalized analysis,the main future research directions were proposed to provide theo-retical references for future research on the application of nanofluids in MCHS(micro/mini-channel heat sink).
