In this article, we investigate the effectiveness of using multiple pipes for heat dissipation. The study assumes laminar flow under steady-state conditions. Various mixtures are numerically investigated at different flow rates. Various nanofluids flowing through multiple parallel pipes have been numerically investigated to study the effects of temperature rise. Thanks to the benefits they bring to the cooling process, nanofluids have opened up a new way to improve the performance of thermal systems. A typical nanofluid consists of a base fluid, which is usually water, and nanoparticles.
