The present work is a computational investigation of a periodically fully developed nanofluid transport through a wavy module. The governing equations for this investigation are formulated along with the appropriate boundary conditions and then solved using the finite volume method. Comparisons with previously reported results show excellent agreement. The simulations are carried out using five wavy amplitudes for a range of Reynolds number from 10 2 to 10 3 . It is found that increasing the amplitude and increasing the nanoparticle volume fraction achieve enhancement of the heat transfer at the cost of increased pumping power. Correlations for the friction factor and the Nusselt number as functions of the amplitude and the Reynolds number are provided.
