Thermal performance of Al2O3/water nanofluid in a natural circulation loop with a mini-channel heat sink and heat source

•Heat transfer of a natural circulation loop was investigated experimentally.•The loop has mini-channel heat sink and source and contains Al2O3–water nanofluid.•Al2O3–water nanofluid can enhance the heat-transfer performance of the loop.•Heat-transfer effectiveness were 3.5–22% (in heating) and 9.5–...
