EFFECT OF Al2O3-WATER NANOFLUIDS IN CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER

Abstract: Nanofluids are suspensions of metallic or nonmetallic nanopowders in base liquid and can be employed to increase heat transfer rate in various applications. In this work turbulent flow forced convection heat transfer of Al 2 O 3-water nanofluid inside an annular tube with variable wall temperature was investigated experimentally. The Nusselt numbers of nanofluid were obtained for various heat flux, Reynolds numbers and nanoparticle concentrations at atmospheric pressure. The addition of nanoparticle in water e… Show more

“…Results showed that the heat transfer coefficient of nanofluid is higher than that of the base fluid. Forced convection turbulent flow of Al 2 O 3 -water nanofluid inside an annular tube with a variable wall temperature was investigated experimentally by Prajapati [18]. Results showed the enhancement of heat transfer due to the nanoparticle dispersion in the base fluid.…”
