Numerical investigation on the single phase forced convection heat transfer characteristics of TiO2 nanofluids in a double-tube counter flow heat exchanger

CFD assessment of the effect of nanoparticles on the heat transfer properties of acetone/ZnBr2 solution

“…A two dimensional single phase CFD model was numerically studied by Demir et al [20] using Al2O3 and TiO2 in water nanofluid in a horizontal pipe heat exchanger. They found that the heat transfer increased with the concentration of nanoparticles.…”

Statistical analysis of entropy generation in longitudinally finned tube heat exchanger with shell side nanofluid by a single phase approach

“…The results of simulation showcased nearly 10% variation from experimental results at concentrations of 1%, 2%, and 4% for different particle diameters and reaffirmed that heat transfer augments with the increase in concentration of nanoparticles. Demir et al [10] concluded that heat transfer is augmented by the nanoparticles. Das et al [11] has noticed aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) up to a concentration of 4% behaves as Newtonian fluid.…”

Numerical Investigation of Heat Transfer Characteristics for the Annular Flow of Nanofluids using YPlus

“…For water-CuO (Bianco et al, 2009) concluded that single phase and two phase methods revealed approximated results, especially in the case of using temperature dependent properties. Demir (Demir et al, 2011) mentioned that although the nanofluid is actually a two-phase fluid in nature, the results show that the nanofluid behaves more like a pure fluid than a liquid-solid mixture. Kumar (Kumar, 2011) after validation his numerical study with experimental works, he emphasized single phase approach does not predict heat transfer coefficient as accurately as in the turbulent regime.…”
