Isothermal analysis of nanofluid flow inside HyperVapotrons using particle image velocimetry

A Review on Pool and Flow Boiling Enhancement Using Nanofluids: Nuclear Reactor Application

“…The improvement in thermal conductivity may lead to an increase in the heat transfer with the nanofluid. The same research group in later applied a very dilute Al 2 O 3 -water nanofluid (0.0001% by volume) in a lab-scale setup of HVs for MAST and JET geometries [11]. A hybrid particle image velocimetry (PIV) was applied to check the flow characteristics of the nanofluid in HVs of the different geometries at three different flow rates of 3 m/s, 6 m/s, and 10 m/s.…”

“…The abundance of the published literature ranges from basic studies containing the formulation and thermophysical properties to the application of nanofluids in convective, boiling, and two-phase flow phenomena [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. These characteristics of nanofluids make them promising for the HV [11][12][13]. Apart from the original research articles, there are some reviews, that summarized the past investigations and that were directed towards the possible application areas of nanofluids [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”
