abstract: in this study, al 2 o 3 /eg and tio 2 /eg nanofluids as coolants have been used in the double-tube heat exchanger. the hot solvent inlet heat exchanger must be cooled down with a specified amount. we can use nanofluids as coolants in the heat exchanger for optimization of the heat transfer area. therefore, the efficacy of nanofluids as coolants is verified. furthermore, flow rate of c...

A detailed numerical simulation of forced convection heat transfer occurring in silicon-based microchannel heat sinks has been conducted using a simplified three-dimensional conjugate heat transfer model (2D fluid flow and 3D heat transfer). The micro-heat sink model consists of a 10 mm long silicon substrate, with rectangular microchannels, 57 lm wide and 180 lm deep, fabricated along the enti...

In order to improve the efficiency and rate of heat transfer in heat exchangers, various techniques such as increasing the heat transfer coefficient are proposed. This study is devoted to the investigation of heat transfer coefficient variations due to the addition of CuO, TiO2 and CuO/TiO2 nanoparticles into a shell and tube heat exchanger. CuO/TiO2 nanocomposite was synthesized using mechanic...

Analysis is presented for conjugate heat transfer in a parallel-plate microchannel. Axial conduction in the fluid and in the adjacent wall are included. The fluid is a constant property liquid with a fully-developed velocity distribution. The microchannel is heated by a uniform heat flux applied to the outside of the channel wall. The analytic solution is given in the form of integrals by the m...

Dew formation on a transparent surface creates a pattern that can cause blurred view over it. This fogging phenomenon should be avoided in many applications. Mist condensation of water on a cold surface exposed to humid air is studied in this work. In order to analyze the misting process, the fluid flow and heat transfer of humid air as well as the heat transfer across the solid surface are con...

We formulate new multi-phase convective heat transfer equations by combining the three-dimensional (3D) Navier–Stokes equations, the energy equation and the Cahn–Hilliard equation for the phase field variable /ðx; tÞ. The density, viscosity, heat capacity and conductivity are functions of /ðx; tÞ. The equations are solved in time with a splitting scheme that decouples the flow and temperature v...
