| Abstract | As much as two-phase mixture models resolve more physics than single-phase homogeneous models, their inconsistent heat transfer predictions have limited their use in modelling nanofluid cooled minichannel heat sinks. This work investigates, addresses, and solves this key shortcoming, enabling reliable physically sound predictions of minichannel nanoflows, using the two-phase mixture model. It does so by applying the single-phase and the two-phase mixture model to a nine-passages rectangular minichannel, 3 mm deep and 1 mm wide, cooled by a 1% by volume suspension of Al2O3 nanoparticles in water, over the Reynolds number range 92 to 455. By varying the volume fraction |
