摘要：

In this paper, we report the results of our numerical studies on laminar mixed convection heat transfer in a circular Curved tube with a nanofluid consisting of water and 1 vol.% Al2O3. Three dimensional elliptic governing equations have been used. Two phase mixture model and control volume technique have been implemented to study flow field. Effects of the diameter of particles diameter decreases the Nusselt number and secondary flow, while the axial velocity augments. When the particles are in order of nano meter, increasing the diameter of particles, do not change the flow behaviors. The distribution of solid nanoparticles is uniform and constant in curved tube (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All right reserved.
