A numerical investigation of entropy generation in laminar forced convection of gas flow over a backward facing step in a horizontal duct under bleeding condition is presented. For calculation of entropy generation from the second law of thermodynamics in a forced convection flow, the velocity and temperature distributions are primary needed. For this purpose, the three-dimensional Cartesian co...

the paper numerically presents laminar forced convection of a nanofluid flowing in a duct at microscale. results were compared with both analytical and experimental data and observed good concordance with previous studies available in the literature. influences of brinkman and reynolds number on thermal and hydrodynamic indexes have been investigated. for a given nanofluid, no change in efficie...
