Özet
This study presents a comprehensive experimental and numerical investigation of the thermohydraulic performance of ZnO/H₂O nanofluid flowing through a square tube equipped with elliptical dimpled surfaces under laminar flow conditions. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study constitutes the first experimental investigation of nanofluid flow in a square cross-section channel enhanced with elliptic dimple fins. A significant original contribution of this work lies in the development of novel empirical correlations as a function of fin geometry and nanofluid concentration, derived systematically from the experimental data. Moreover, the comparison of experimental results with numerical analyses performed under identical boundary conditions substantially broadens the scope of the present study. Experiments were conducted within a Reynolds number range of 500–2000 under a uniform heat flux of 2000 W …
