this paper presents a comprehensive theoretical, experimental, and economic study on the application of nanofluids as heat transfer fluid in waste heat recovery systems. the research work was conducted in a steel-making complex in which a plate heat exchanger had been used to recover heat from hot process water. the system was theoretically modelled and the effects of using nanofluids as heat t...

Heat and mass transfer, in this paper, is considered in one-row heat exchanger, that fins are hotter than air flow and water is added to fins. Related governing equations are derived by analyzing a two-dimension model in a unique cell of a heat exchange. These equations are numerically solved by finite difference method. Heat transfer and efficiency under partially wet surface are calculated by...

one way to increase the heat transfer is to use perforated twisted tapes with different hole diameters, which largely improve heat transfer with an increase in the heat transfer area at the constant volume and more mixed flow. in the previous studies, the effect of nanofluids with perforated twisted tapes is less studied. in this work, the performance of water / iron oxide nanofluid in a double...

A nanofluid is mixture of nano sized particles and a base fluid. This paper investigates by using laboratory based double pipe heat exchanger model, the performance of nanofluid containing about 48.46nm  particle size nanoparticles (ZnO) without or with addition of nonionic surfactant Rokanol K7 (500ppm) into the base fluid double distilled water to prepared three different concentrations 1.0%,...

development of a numerical model which describes launching of offshore jackets from barge is presented in this paper. in this model, in addition to capabilities of commercial softwares, water entry forces on jacket members and an implicit newmark solution technique are included. the results are in general agreement with other numerical software’s available (sacs). fluid forces acting on jacket ...

the present study investigated the effect of distilled-water/ silver nanofluid on heat transfer in a closed cooling system of one of the electrical energy generation units at isfahan power plant. the difference between this study and previous researches refers to silver properties which have a high thermal conductivity and is non-toxic, hydrophilic and eco-friendly. distilled water/ silver nano...

An experimental investigation on the effect of surfactant monolayers on the heat transfer through air/water and oil/water interfaces was carried out by observing the changes of surface temperature with IR Imaging Radiometer (Model 760). The heat transfer resistance of various single component and mixed monolayers at air/water and oil/water systems was studied. The results show that the surfacta...
