Abstract :
In this study, nanofluid heat transfer research has been divided by fluid conditions of laminar flow and turbulent flow. All parameter are compared to measure convective heat transfer coefficients altogether in entrance region. The effect of some factors such as mass fraction, temperature, and various velocity were selected and the effects of these parameters on the convective heat transfer coefficients in the water based fluids are discussed. Distilled water and Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were used to produce nanofluids.
