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: 2.3 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: 1.8 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: 0.2 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: 0.00037 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: 0.6 SJR: 0.433 SNIP: 0.593 CiteScore™:: 4.3 H-Index: 35

ABSTRACT

The possibility of enhancing the rate of convective heat transfer is investigated in a sinusoidal wavy channel by adding Al2O3 nanoparticles to water. Assuming the flow to be periodically developed, the fluid physical properties to be constant, and the heat flux to be uniform on all surfaces, a finite volume technique will be used to solve the (uncoupled) PDEs governing heat and momentum transfer equations. The effects of the Reynolds number and channel aspect ratio will be investigated on the rate of heat transfer and wall shear stress distribution for different solid concentrations. Numerical results show that adding nanoparticles to water can significantly increase the rate of heat transfer with a subsequent increase in the wall shear stress. Based on the results obtained in this work it is concluded that for a wavy channel working under laminar flow conditions, oxide nanoparticles are more effective when the Reynolds number is at the high end and the channel curvature is acute. Interestingly, the overall wall shear stress ratio was found to be quite insensitive to the Reynolds number and/or the channel curvature.
