Abstract
The nanofluid jet impingement heat transfer characteristics in a rectangular mini-fin heat sink are studied. The heat sink is fabricated from aluminum by a wire electrical discharge machine. The nanofluid is a mixture of deionized water and nanoscale TiO2 particles with a volume nanoparticle concentration of 0.2%. The results obtained for nanofluid jet impingement cooling in the rectangular mini-fin heat sink are compared with those found in the water jet impingement cooling. The effects of the inlet temperature of the nanofluid, its Reynolds number, and the heat flux on the heat transfer characteristics of the rectangular mini-fin heat sink are considered. It is found that the average heat transfer rates for the nanofluid as coolant are higher than those for deionized water. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
