Abstract
In this paper, the effect of highly conductive copper oxide nanoparticles on the effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of rock samples was mathematically investigated. To solve the governing conservation equations for the ETC a commercial finite element package (COMSOL Multiphysics) was used. It should be stressed that the single-phase approach was employed to mathematically model the effect of nanofluid on the heat transfer improvement. The computational geometry of the rock samples was obtained by analyzing the microscopic images of the limestone rock samples. The results obtained from the mathematical modeling of the rock samples showed that the conductive heat transfer through porous...
