Abstract :
In this study, the finite volume method and the SIMPLER algorithm is
employed to investigate forced convection and entropy generation of Cuwater
nanofluid in a parallel plate microchannel. There are four obstacles
through the microchannel, and the slip velocity and temperature jump
boundary conditions are considered in the governing equations to increase
the accuracy of modeling. The study is conducted for the Reynolds numbers
in the range of 0.1
