Numerical investigations are performed to explore the aluminum trapezoidal microchannel heat sink (MCHS) cooling benefits by using different types of base nanofluids for laminar flow. Considering a diamond nanoparticle with particle volume fraction of 2% was mixed in four different base fluids inclu...
