This paper studied the cooling performance of a hot electronic chip using nanofluids (NF) mixed convection, implementing Buongiorno’s model of the NF simulation. The NF were assumed water-Al2O3 nanoparticles (NP) in the range of 0 to 4% of volume concentration. Six different problems of the combinations of three internal hot blocks, including triangular, square, and circular geometries, and two porous media, including sand and compact metallic powder, were numerically solved. To discretize the governing equations, a finite control volume method was applied. As most of the proposed correlations for the thermophysical properties of the NF were inaccurate, especially for thermal conductivity, a new predictive correlation was proposed using the multi-variable regression method with acceptable accuracy. It was found that the cooling performance improved with any increase in the NP loading. A higher nanoparticle concentration yielded better cooling characteristics, which was 11.93% for 4% volume. The sand porous medium also yielded a much higher value of the normalized Nusselt number (Nu) compared to the other medium. The entropy generation (EG) enhancement was maximum for the triangular hot block in a sand porous cavity.
