Hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of Al2O3 – water nanofluid flow at entry region of a uniformly heated pipe are studied applying finite control volume method (FCV). Single phase and Eulerian-Eulerian two-phase models were used in modelling of nanofluid flow and heat transfer. The two methods are evaluated by comparing predicted convective heat transfer coefficients and friction factor with experimental results from literature. Solutions with two different velocity pressure coupling algorithms, Full Multiphase Coupled, and Phase Coupled Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations are also compared in terms of accuracy and computational cost. Two-phase model predicts convective heat transfer coefficient and friction factor more accurately at the entry region. Moreover, computational cost can be reduced by implementing Full Multiphase Coupled scheme.
