•The effectiveness of nanofluid on improving the performance of MCHS is checked.•Al2O3/H2O nanofluid is useful only when the provided pumping power of MCHS is high.•The criteria for suitable nanofluids for MCHSs are proposed. Electronic cooling remains a challenging subject that needs further explor...
