Thermal performance of energy systems can be improved by adding metal or metal-oxide nanoparticles to a base fluid, thereby increasing heat-transfer efficiency. Laminar pipe flow of a Cu–water nanofluid was studied using discrete phase model numerical simulation and experimental methods. The forces including thermophoretic and Brownian forces were considered to solve the particles governing equation. A two-step method was employed in the preparation of the nanofluid. The influences of Reynolds number, fluid temperature, and particle volume fraction on the flow pressure drop and convective heat-transfer coefficient of the nanofluid have been studied. The results demonstrated that adding nanoparticles to a base fluid significantly enhanced convective heat transfer in a pipe and increased energy loss. The pressure drop increased with increasing Reynolds number. A critical nanoparticle volume fraction existed, beyond which the pressure drop changed from increasing to decreasing with increasing nanoparticle volume fraction. This is attributed to competition between slip of particles on the pipe wall and the effect of a drag force on the particles. The deposition efficiency of nanoparticle changing with the particle size and volume fraction also has been illustrated. 相似文献

Applying nanofluid and helical coils are two effective methods for thermal performance enhancement. Combination of these techniques could improve the energy efficiency of thermal equipment dramatically. In this study, a numerical analysis of nanofluid flowing in helical coil with constant wall temperature boundary condition was performed to evaluate nanofluid superiority over the base fluid. Forced convective heat transfer and entropy generation of aqueous Al2O3 nanofluid with temperature dependent properties were investigated. Eulerian two-phase mixture model was employed for nanofluid modeling and governing mass, momentum, energy, and volume fraction equations were solved using finite volume method. Simulations covered a range of nanoparticle volume fraction of 1–3%, Reynolds number from 200 to 2000, and curvature ratio of 0.05–0.2. In order to evaluate the heat transfer performance, a parameter referred as thermo-hydrodynamic performance index was applied. Also, entropy generation analysis was performed to examine the efficiency of the helical coil and nanofluid. The results demonstrate that performance index enhances by decreasing the Reynolds number and the increasing nanoparticle concentration. The best thermo-hydrodynamic performance can be obtained at low Reynolds number, high nanoparticle volume fraction, and large curvature ratio. Increasing curvature ratio decreases the ratio of local entropy generation by nanofluid to the base fluid. So, utilization of water based Al2O3 nanofluid in higher curvature ratio is more efficient from irreversibility point of view. 相似文献

Entropy generation rates considering particle migration are evaluated for a biologically produced nanofluid flow in a mini double-pipe heat exchanger. The nanofluid is used in tube side and hot water flows in annulus side. Silver nanoparticles synthesized through plant extract method from green tea leaves are utilized. Particle migration causes non-uniform concentration distribution, and non-uniformity intensifies by increase in Reynolds number and concentration. The results indicate that at high concentrations and Reynolds numbers, particle migration can have a great effect on entropy generation rates. For water inlet temperature of 308 K, the contribution of friction in nanofluid entropy generation is much more than that of heat transfer. However, as the water inlet temperature increases to 360 K, the heat transfer contribution increases such that at low Reynolds numbers, the thermal contribution exceeds the frictional one. For total heat exchanger, Bejan number is smaller than 0.2 at water inlet temperature of 308 K, while Bejan number has a large value at water inlet temperature of 360 K. Furthermore, entropy generation at the wall has an insignificant contribution, such that for Re = 1000 and φm = 1%, the total entropy generation rates for the nanofluid, wall, and water are 0.098810, 0.000133, and 0.041851 W/K, respectively. 相似文献

Influence of nanoparticle volume concentration and proportion on heat transfer performance (HTP) of Al2O3 – Cu/water hybrid nanofluid in a single pass shell and tube heat exchanger is analyzed. Multiphase mixture model is adopted to model the flow. Three-dimensional governing equations and associated boundary conditions are solved using finite volume method. The numerical results are validated with the experimental results. Results indicate that optimized nanoparticle volume concentration and proportion dominate HTP of hybrid nanofluid. Heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number are monotonic increase functions of nanoparticle volume concentration and proportion. The percentage increase in heat transfer coefficient of hybrid nanofluid is 139% than water and 25% than Cu/water nanofluid. At higher Reynolds number, the increment in Number of Transfer Units (NTU) between water and hybrid nanofluid is close to 75%. Maximum enhancement in Nusselt number for hybrid nanofluid exceeds 90% when compared to nanofluid (Al2O3/Water nanofluid). Consequently, highest heat transfer performance is attained for hybrid nanofluid systems. Effectiveness of heat exchanger increases almost to 124% when hybrid nanofluid is employed. We show that it is higher than water as well (conventional coolant). Results are expected to be helpful in further industrial-scale deployment of nanofluids, which is an area that is currently relevant for ongoing academia-industry partnership efforts worldwide. 相似文献

In the present article, forced convection heat transfer and pressure drop in helically coiled pipes using TiO2/water nanofluid as working fluid were investigated experimentally and numerically. The aim is to investigate and provide additional insight about the effects of physical and geometrical properties on heat transfer augmentation and pressure drop in helically coiled tubes. The experiments were conducted in the range of Reynolds number from 3000 to 18,000 and in the nanoparticle concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5% for five different curvature ratios. In numerical simulations the thermophysical properties of the working fluid were assumed to be a function of nanofluid temperature and concentration. For turbulent regime the standard k − ε model was used to simulate the turbulent flow characteristics. The numerical results were in good agreement with the experimental data. The results showed that utilization of nanofluid instead of distilled water leads to an enhancement in the Nusselt number up to 30%. Also, four formulas were introduced to obtain the average Nusselt number and friction factor in helically coiled tubes under constant wall temperature condition for both laminar and turbulent flow regimes. 相似文献

The hydrothermal characteristics of minichannel heat sink are analyzed experimentally by using deionized (DI) water based different nanoparticles mixture dispersed hybrid nanofluids. Al2O3, MgO, SiC, AlN, MWCNT and Cu nanoparticles are considered for this study. Different nanoparticles combinations (oxide-oxide, oxide-carbide, oxide-nitride, oxide-carbon nanotube and oxide-metal) in 50/50 vol ratio with base fluid (DI water) have been taken as coolants for volume concentration of 0.01%. Effects of volume flow rate (0.1–0.5LPM), fluid inlet temperature (20–40 °C) and Reynolds number (50–500) are studied for heat flux of 50 W/cm2. Convective heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop are increased by about 42.24% and 22% for Al2O3 + MWCNT hybrid nanofluid. The maximum reduction of 21.36% in thermal resistance is obtained for Al2O3 + MWCNT hybrid nanofluid in comparison to DI water. Heat transfer effectiveness and figure of merit are above one for all the hybrid nanofluids which conclude that hybrid nanofluid is better option for electronics cooling over DI water. Al2O3 + MWCNT hybrid nanofluid is better in terms of heat transfer effectiveness; whereas, Al2O3 + AlN hybrid nanofluid (oxide-nitrite mixture) has maximum heat transfer coefficient to pressure drop ratio and coefficient of performance. 相似文献

Nanofluids and helical tubes are among the best methods for heat transfer enhancement. In the present study, laminar, developing nanofluid flow in helical tube at constant wall temperature is investigated. The numerical simulation of Al2O3-water nanofluid with temperature dependent properties is performed using the two-phase mixture model by control volume method in order to study convective heat transfer and entropy generation. The numerical results is compared with three test cases including nanofluid forced convection in straight tube, velocity profile in curved tube and Nusselt number in helical tubes that good agreement for all cases is observed. Heat transfer coefficient in developing region inside a straight tube using mixture model shows a better prediction compared to the homogenous model. The effect of Reynolds number and nanoparticle volume fraction on flow and temperature fields, local and overall heat transfer coefficient, local entropy generation due to viscous dissipation and heat transfer, and the Bejan number is discussed in detail and compared with the base fluid. The results show that the nanofluid and the base fluid have almost the same axial velocity profile, but their temperature profile has significant difference in developing and fully developed region. Entropy generation ratio by nanofluid to the base fluid in each axial location along the coil length showed that the entropy generation is reduced by using nanofluid in at most length of the helical tube. Also, better heat transfer enhancement and entropy generation reduction can be achieved at low Reynolds number. 相似文献

In this work, a numerical investigation of mixed convection has been carried out in a two-sided lid-driven enclosure filled with copper–water nanofluid. Three different cases have been discussed depending on the direction of moving vertical walls to analyze the behavior of fluid flow and heat transfer in nanofluid. The buoyancy effects are incorporated using two discrete heat sources placed on the bottom wall maintaining a fixed distance from both the side walls. The stationary part of the bottom wall is kept insulated while other walls are maintained at constant low temperature. A two-dimensional computational visualization technique has been employed to demonstrate the main findings of the presented work. The effect of higher nanoparticle volume fraction (up to 20%) with variations of Reynolds number and Richardson number is studied to find the rate of heat transfer. The results are presented using streamlines, isotherms, and energy flux vectors. The thermodynamic optimization of the system is analyzed by using Nusselt number and entropy generation. 相似文献

Cooling of miniature size electronic components has become a challenge for designer in the development of integrated circuits. Micro pin fin heat sink and Micro channel pin fin heat sink are thermal management techniques for effective cooling. The paper presents comparison of fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics for micro pin fin heat sink and micro channel pin fin heat sink with unfinned micro channel heat sink. A three-dimensional heat sink with water as coolant subjected to constant heat flux 10 W/cm2, for Reynolds number ranging between 100 and 900 was considered for the study. Extended surfaces of different shapes namely, square and circular with staggered arrangement was considered for both micro pin fin heat sink and micro channel pin fin heat sink. Two non-dimensional parameters namely Nusselt number and thermal performance index were employed to access the performance of heat sink. Results indicate that the microchannel pin fin heat sink has highest nusselt number and friction factor over the whole Reynolds number range. Results also revealed that formation of secondary vortices enhances heat transfer in micro channel heat sink with square pin fin compared to micro channel heat sink with circular pin fin. However, pin fin heat sink has better thermal performance index compared to Micro channel pin fin heat sink and is more preferable when heat dissipation is compared with pressure drop penalty. The Governing equations for fluid and solid domain were solved using FLUENT to study flow and heat transfer characteristics. 相似文献

In present study, heat transfer and turbulent flow of water/alumina nanofluid in a parallel as well as counter flow double pipe heat exchanger have been investigated. The governing equations have been solved using an in-house FORTRAN code, based on finite volume method. Single-phase and standard k-ε models have been used for nanofluid and turbulent modeling, respectively. The internal fluid has been considered as hot fluid (nanofluid) and the external fluid, cold fluid (base fluid). The effects of nanoparticles volume fraction, flow direction and Reynolds number on base fluid, nanofluid and wall temperatures, thermal efficiency, Nusselt number and convection heat transfer coefficient have been studied. The results indicated that increasing the nanoparticles volume fraction or Reynolds number causes enhancement of Nusselt number and convection heat transfer coefficient. Maximum rate of average Nusselt number and thermal efficiency enhancement are 32.7% and 30%, respectively. Also, by nanoparticles volume fraction increment, the outlet temperature of fluid and wall temperature increase. Study the minimum temperature in the solid wall of heat exchangers, it can be observed that the minimum temperature in counter flow has significantly reduced, compared to parallel flow. However, by increasing Reynolds number, the slope of thermal efficiency enhancement of heat exchanger gradually tends to a constant amount. This behavior is more obvious in parallel flow heat exchangers. Therefore, using of counter flow heat exchangers is recommended in higher Reynolds numbers. 相似文献

A numerical study of a laminar mixed convection problem in a ventilated square cavity partially heated from bellow is carried out. The fluid in the cavity is a water-based nanofluid containing Cu nanoparticles. The effects of monitoring parameters, namely, Richardson number, Reynolds number, and solid volume fraction on the streamline and isotherm contours as well as average Nusselt number along the two heat sources are analyzed. The computation is performed for Richardson number ranging from 0.1 to 10, Reynolds number from 10 to 500, and the solid volume fraction from 0 to 0.1. The results show that by adding nanoparticles to the base fluid and increasing both Reynolds and Richardson numbers the heat transfer rate is enhanced. It is also found, regardless of the Richardson and Reynolds numbers, and the volume fraction of nanoparticles, the highest heat transfer enhancement occurs at the left heat source surface. 相似文献

This paper analyzes the fluid flow and heat exchange on the air side of a multi-row fin-and-tube heat exchanger. A comparison is given between fin-and-tube heat exchanger characteristics with flat and louvered fins in a wider range of operating conditions defined by Reynolds number (based on fin spacing and air frontal velocities). The detailed representation of calculated data for the louvered heat exchanger shows significantly better heat transfer characteristics and a slightly higher pressure drop. The CFD procedure was validated by comparing the numerical simulation results with the experimental results showing the minimal average Nusselt number deviation and an almost perfectly corresponding pressure drop. 相似文献

In this paper, the heat transfer characteristics and pressure drop of the ZnO and Al2O3 nanofluids in a plate heat exchanger were studied. The experimental conditions were 100-500 Reynolds number and the respective volumetric flow rates. The working temperature of the heat exchanger was within 20-40 degrees C. The measured thermophysical properties, such as thermal conductivity and kinematic viscosity, were applied to the calculation of the convective heat transfer coefficient of the plate heat exchanger employing the ZnO and Al2O3 nanofluids made through a two-step method. According to the Reynolds number, the overall heat transfer coefficient for 6 vol% Al2O3 increased to 30% because at the given viscosity and density of the nanofluids, they did not have the same flow rates. At a given volumetric flow rate, however, the performance did not improve. After the nanofluids were placed in the plate heat exchanger, the experimental results pertaining to nanofluid efficiency seemed inauspicious. 相似文献

Natural convection heat transfer of Cu-water nanofluid in a 3?×?3 array of a typical isothermal quad flat non-lead (QFN) embedded printed circuit board (PCB) module which can be bounded with respect to the sealed non-Darcy porous enclosure is numerically investigated. The Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model is adopted to model the fluid flow in the porous medium under the presence of an external magnetic field. The transport governing equations are solved by the finite volume method based on the SIMPLE algorithm and the power law scheme. Main efforts focus on the effects of the parameters such as a nanoparticle volume fraction, Hartmann number, Darcy number and the enclosure side aspect ratio on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics inside the enclosure. The obtained results indicate that the influence of nanofluid of the overall Nusselt number increases with increasing the Darcy number, but decreases with increasing the Hartmann number. The overall Nusselt number attains its maximum value in the range of enclosure side aspect ratio from 1.5 to 3 with respect to the Darcy number. Moreover, the proposed correlations improve the efficiency, reliability and stability of the electronic device encountered in various applications in electronic industries. 相似文献

This paper presents an analytical study of magnetohydrodynamics and convective heat transfer of nanofluids synthesized by three different shaped (brick, platelet and cylinder) silver (Ag) nanoparticles in water. A two-phase nanoscale formulation is adopted which is more appropriate for biophysical systems. The flow is induced by metachronal beating of cilia and the flow geometry is considered as a cylindrical tube. The analysis is carried out under the low Reynolds number and long wavelength approximations and the fluid and cilia dynamics is of the creeping type. A Lorentzian magnetic body force model is employed and magnetic induction effects are neglected. Solutions to the transformed boundary value problem are obtained via numerical integration. The influence of cilia length parameter, Hartmann (magnetic) number, heat absorption parameter, Grashof number (free convection), solid nanoparticle volume fraction, and cilia eccentricity parameter on the flow and heat transfer characteristics (including effective thermal conductivity of the nanofluid) are examined in detail. Furthermore a comparative study for different nanoparticle geometries (i.e. bricks, platelets and cylinders) is conducted. The computations show that pressure increases with enhancing the heat absorption, buoyancy force (i.e. Grashof number) and nanoparticle fraction however it reduces with increasing the magnetic field. The computations also reveal that pressure enhancement is a maximum for the platelet nano-particle case compared with the brick and cylinder nanoparticle cases. Furthermore the quantity of trapped streamlines for cylinder type nanoparticles exceeds substantially that computed for brick and platelet nanoparticles, whereas the bolus magnitude (trapped zone) for brick nanoparticles is demonstrably greater than that obtained for cylinder and platelet nanoparticles. The present model is applicable in biological and biomimetic transport phenomena exploiting magnetic nanofluids and ciliated inner tube surfaces. 相似文献

In the current study, the conjugated effect of Joule heating and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) on the forced convective heat transfer of fully developed laminar nanofluid flows inside annular pipes, under the influence of MHD field, has been investigated. The temperature and nanoparticle distributions at both the inner and outer walls are assumed to vary in the direction of the fluid. Furthermore, owing to the nanoparticle migrations in the fluid, a slip condition becomes far more important than the no-slip condition of the fluid–solid interface, which appropriately represents the non-equilibrium region near the interface. The governing equations—obtained by employing the Buongiorno’s model for nanofluid in cylindrical coordinates—are converted into two-point ordinary boundary value differential equations and solved numerically. The effects of various controlling parameters on the flow characteristics, the average Nusselt number and the average Sherwood number have been assessed in detail. Additionally, the effect of the inner to outer diameter ratio on the heat and mass transfer rate has been studied. The results obtained indicate that, in the presence of a magnetic field when the fluid is electrically conductive, heat transfer will be reduced significantly due to the influences of Joule heating, while the average mass transfer rate experiences an opposite trend. Moreover, the increase in the slip velocity on both the walls causes the average heat transfer to rise and the average mass transfer to decrease. 相似文献

In this study, a new numerical investigation was carried out to study the heat transfer characteristics of nanofluid flow inside a copper helical tube under constant heat flux. A nanofluid with different particle weight concentrations of 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0% was used. The effects of different parameters such as Reynolds number, nanofluid particle concentration, and constant heat fluxes (1500 and 3800?W/m2) on heat transfer coefficient were studied. For validation, Nusselt number and convection heat transfer coefficient obtained from the numerical model was compared with the experimental results. Also, to verify the accuracy of the method, grid independency was studied for each heat flux. The observations showed that the heat transfer coefficient increased by using nanofluid instead of base fluid. In addition, the convection heat transfer coefficient performance improved by increasing the nanoparticles’ concentration. The results from the numerical simulation compared with the experimental data showed that this new numerical method has high accuracy and could correctly predict the heat transfer behavior of nanofluids with different weight particle concentrations under constant heat flux. 相似文献
