“…For a specific input parameter, total heat capacity is constant, and effectiveness increases by increase of NTU. As a result, higher overall heat transfer coefficient and heat transfer surface area are needed in the case of high effectiveness based on definition of NTU in Eqn (12). Consequently, heat exchanger cost is also increased by the increase of heat transfer surface area.…”

Application of different types of nanoparticles including Al2O3, SiO2, and CuO is studied to find the effects of nanoparticles on the thermoeconomic optimization of a fin and tube heat exchanger. The effectiveness and the total annual cost are considered as objective functions, and optimization is performed using multi‐objective particle swarm optimization algorithm by selection of nine design parameters including nanoparticle volumetric concentration and parameters related to the heat exchanger geometry. The effect of nanoparticles on total annual cost (TAC) vs effectiveness indicates that TAC increases by increase of effectiveness. The results also reveal that in all the studied cases, thermoeconomic improvement is found in the case of nanoparticle additive compared with the base fluid for the high heat exchanger effectiveness. Moreover, application of Al2O3 and CuO is more beneficial than SiO2 in the aspect of thermoeconomic point of view. Furthermore, Al2O3 causes a higher effectiveness in the case of considering nanoparticle price, while in the case of neglecting nanoparticle price, CuO is the best for the higher effectiveness. © 2017 Curtin University and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Behrangzade et al [23] verified experimentally the potential using of nano-silver dispersed water based nanofluid on efficiency improvement of a commercial corrugated plate heat exchanger. According to their results, the overall heat transfer coefficient becomes larger, from 6.18% to 16.79%, for 100 ppm silver nanofluid, while no significant growth in pressure drop values was observed.…”

Application of nanofluid to increase the thermal efficiency of a traditional solar collector is getting tremendous attention among the scientific community. In this work, the effect of CuO‐water nanofluid, as a working fluid on the efficiency of a flat plate solar collector (FPSC) was investigated experimentally. Volume fraction of nanoparticles was 0.1%, and the particles dimension was 40 nm. The mass flow rates of the nanofluid varied from 1 to 4 L/min. Thermal efficiencies of a FPSC using water and nanofluids as working fluids were matched and compared. The results show that, in comparison with water as the absorption medium using the nanofluids as working fluid increase the efficiency. The results revealed that nanofluids enhanced the energy efficiency up by 15.2%, 17.1%, and 55.1% for the flow rate of 1, 2, and 4 L/min, respectively. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38: 260–267, 2019

“…In addition, thermal performance of plate heat exchanger is considerably affected by working fluid. Although there are lots of methods are available in literature to improve the thermal characteristics of plate heat exchangers, the most preferred method is upgrading the thermophysical properties of the working fluid (Behrangzadeh & Heyhat 2016;Barzegarian et al 2016;Huang et al 2016;Sarafraz & Hormozi 2016;Taghizadeh-Tabari et al 2016).…”

Plate heat exchangers, a compact-type heat exchanger, are commonly used heat transfer devices because of their superior characteristics. Their thermal performances are strongly dependent to working fluid circulating inside the system. The influences of nanofluid utilization as the working fluid in a plate heat exchanger was experimentally and numerically analysed in this study. In order to show off the improvement rate in heat transfer, the experiments were performed by using deionized water and TiO2-deionized water nanofluid. The nanofluid was prepared at the rate of 1.5 % as weighted. A surface-active agent, Triton X-100, was also doped into the mixture at the rate of 0.2% of a final concentration to prevent the sedimentation and flocculation of the nanoparticles inside the solution. The experiments were performed in different temperatures as 40°C, 45°C, 50°C and varying cold fluid mass flow rates as 3,4, 5, 6 and 7 lpm. In addition, using the experimental data, a numerical simulation was realized by ANSYS Fluent software. The both results indicate that heat transfer rate in plate heat exchanger can be improved using nanofluid as the working fluid in place of deionized water. The maximum improvement rate in heat transfer was obtained as 11 % in experimental study. It is also seen that experimental and numerical results are in good agreement.©2019. CBIORE-IJRED.
