The effect of using nanofluids on heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in rectangular shaped microchannel heat sink (MCHS) is numerically investigated for Reynolds number range of 100-1000. In this study, the MCHS performance using alumina-water (Al2O3-H2O) nanofluid with volume fraction ran...
