چکیده    In this paper, second law analysis for calculations of the entropy generation due to the flow and heat transfer of water-al2o3 and ethylene glycol-al2o3 nanofluids inside annuli is presented. the physical properties of the nanofluids are calculated using empirical correlations. constant heat fluxes at inner surface of the annuli are considered and fully developed condition for fluid flow and heat transfer is assumed. the control volume approach is selected for calculation of the entropy generation. total entropy generation for different values of the nanoparticles volume fractions at different geometrical ratios is obtained and compared with those of the base fluid. also, the geometrical ratios at which the minimum entropy generation is achieved are presented. the results show that when the ratio of the annuli length to its hydraulic diameter (l/dh) exceeds some critical values, adding of the nanoparticles is not efficient. for each value of the nanoparticles concentration, there is a length ratio (l/dh) at which the entropy generation is minimized.
