Abstract
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the heat transfer coefficient of CuO-Al2O3 hybrid nanofluids within a microchannel heatsink, focusing on the impact of flow rate and volume fraction. The thermal conductivity and viscosity of hybrid nanofluids with different particle ratios were investigated. The results showed that the nanofluids have a more remarkable enhancement in thermal conductivity than water. Employing the hybrid nanofluids enhanced the heat transfer coefficient significantly. Furthermore, a slight growth in the friction factor was observed.
