The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.6 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00072 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.43 SJR: 0.318 SNIP: 0.568 CiteScore™:: 3.5 H-Index: 28

ABSTRACT

The effect of chamfer length c and nanoparticle volume fraction q on heat transfer and fluid flow is investigated numerically for water-Al2O3 nanofluid flow through various chamfered ducts of square cross section. A mixture model is used for the nanofluid flow analyses based on the finite volume method. Chamfer lengths of the ducts are assumed to be 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 mm; and the volume fraction of Al2O3 nanoparticles, where diameter is 10 nm, are considered as 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03. The fluid flow is examined under turbulent flow conditions (4000 ≤ Re ≤ 10,000). The results show that as the nanoparticle volume fraction increases, heat transfer and pressure drop increase in all the cases considered. Moreover, increasing the chamfer length of the duct has a positive effect on convective heat transfer, despite the negative effect on the pressure drop. The highest thermohydraulic performance is obtained as 1.118 for the case of c = 4 mm, φ = 0.03, and Re = 4000.
