  Abstract: In this present work, experimental investigation of heat transfer enhancement using Al2O3/water nano fluid in a mini channel heat sink is carried out. Efforts have been undertaken to explore the forced convective heat transfer performance of Al2O3/water nanofluid having 0.1% volume fraction of Al2O3 as the coolant in a copper mini channel heat sink. The mini channel heat sink fabricated consists of 15 parallel rectangular mini-channels of length 50mm with …
