Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This article presents experimental studies for the determination of heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and friction factor for the flow of a fly ash nanofluid in a copper tube under constant heat flux boundary condition. Fly ash/water nanofluid in the concentration range of 0.5–2.0 vol % is used. Stability, viscosity, and thermal conductivity have been found experimentally and validated with previously reported literature. Experimentation was performed at various flow rates and bulk fluid temperature of 30 °C. The highest thermal conductivity ratio and viscosity ratio of 1.21 and 1.18 were observed for a concentration of 2 vol% at 30 °C. The augmentation in Nusselt number ( Nu ) and friction factor was 46.9% and 9.89%, respectively at 2.0 vol%, when compared to the base fluid. With an increase in Reynolds number, the total entropy generation reduces, whereas the friction entropy generation increased. The maximum PEC value of 1.42 was observed at 2 vol% for fly ash nanofluid. The experimental findings are compared with CFD results, with good agreement between them. ANSYS Fluent software is used for computational validation.
