Numerical study of turbulent forced convection in a finned tube with and without CuO nano fluid
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to carry out a numerical investigation to study forced convection for a tube with fins on the inner and outer surfaces with water as the base fluid and adding particles of CuO to have a nanofluid. Design/methodology/approach - Three geometries are designed by using Solid Works and the number of inside fins is 20 with height 6 mm and thickness 1mm. The number
