In this study, a more realistic, modified Buongiorno’s nanofluid model is suggested and used to examine the impact of nanoparticle injection and distribution on inherent irreversibility in a microchannel Poiseuille flow of nanofluid with variable properties. The governing nonlinear differential equa...
