Thermal and hydraulic characteristics of nanofluid in a triangular grooved microchannel heat sink (TGMCHS)

作者：

Highlights：

• Studied performance of triangular grooved microchannel heat sink (TGMCHS) using nanofluid.

• Solved 3D laminar flow and conjugate heat transfer of TGMCHS using FVM.

• Investigated the effect of geometrical parameters, nanofluid type, and its concentration.

• Analyzed the effects of particle diameter, base fluid, Reynolds number.

• TGMCHS efficiency is increased by 179.55% compared to simple MCHS.
