Abstract
This study investigates the effect of nano-fluids in enhancing heat transfer. These nano-fluids contain nanoparticles (Ag, CuO, Fe, Al2O3 and Tin) in volume fraction ranging between 2%-5%. Two-dimensional numerical simulation has been conducted on wavy channel using ANSYS Fluent. Two dimensional governing equations such as mass, momentum and energy equations are solved using SIMPLE algorithm and discretized using Finite Volume Method. The results show that there will be enhancement of heat transfer rate as the nanoparticle volume concentration increases and from the present study it is clear that silver-water nanofluid gives better results as compared to other nanoparticles.
