In the last few years, the thermo-hydraulic simulation of nanofluid flow bifurcation phenomena has become of great interest to researchers and a useful tool in many engineering applications. FVM has been employed in this article to numerically explore the laminar water flow over a backward facing channel with or without carbon nanoparticles (CN). T...

Analysis of the influence of different forms of channel outlet on the heat exchange hydro-thermal characteristics over a rectangular channel embedded with trapezoidal baffle has been made in this paper. Four different forms of the outlets, viz., (I) an outlet similar to the inlet (case-A), (II) two outlets in the upper and lower parts of the exit s...
