Retardation of heat exchanger surfaces mineral fouling by water-based diethylenetriamine pentaacetate-treated CNT nanofluids

Fouling and Fouling Mitigation on Heat Exchanger Surfaces

Measurement of Local Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient of Alumina-Water Nanofluids in a Double Tube Heat Exchanger

Heat transfer coefficient and thermal efficiency of γ-Al2O3/water nanofluids flowing through a double tube heat exchanger were experimentally investigated. The nanoparticles were well dispersed in distilled water at 0.05–0.15 %vol. A large number of experiments were performed at different fluid flow rates under turbulent flow regime (18,000<Re<40,000) and various nanofluid...

Convective Heat Transfer Enhancement of CNT-Water Nanofluids in Plain Tube Fitted with Wire Coil Inserts

A numerical investigation of γ-Al2O3-water nanofluids heat transfer and pressure drop in a shell and tube heat exchanger

The effect of γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles on heat transfer rate, baffle spacing and pressure drop in the shell side of small shell and tube heat exchangers was investigated numerically under turbulent regime. γ-Al2O3-water nanofluids and pure water were used in the shell side and the tube side of heat exchangers, respectively. Since the properties of γ-Al2O3-water nanofluids were variable, they were ...

Implementation of Nanofluids in Plate Heat Exchanger: a Review

Nanofluids are colloidal suspensions of nanosized particles in the conventional base fluid such as water, engine oil and ethylene glycol. The nanoparticles include the chemically stable metals, metal oxides and nonmetallic. In the present study, the literature available on the applications of nanofluids in plate heat exchanger have been compiled and reviewed. However, this paper elaborates the ...
