Abstract Experiments were performed to study the forced convective heat transfer of de-ionized water (DI water) and aqueous nanofluids in a microchannel
and temperature measurements were obtained using an array of nanosensors (i.e., thin film thermocouples or “TFT”). Heat flux values were
calculated from the experimental measurements for temperature recorded by the TFT array. The experiments were performed for the different test
fluids where the flow rate, mass concentration (of silica nanoparticles ~10-30 nm diameter) in the colloidal suspension and the wall temperature
profile (as well as applied heat flux values) were varied parametrically.
