A review on Effect of Different Nano-fluid on Heat Transfer Performance of Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

  • Unique Paper ID: 145494
  • PageNo: 543-547
  • Abstract:
  • In chemical processes one of the most important devices related to energy and heat transfer is heat exchanger. For decades, efforts have been done to enhance heat transfer, reduce the heat transfer time, minimize size of heat exchangers, and finally increase energy and fuel efficiencies. These efforts include passive and active methods such as creating turbulence, increasing area, etc. Most of them are limited by inherent restriction of thermal conductivity of the conventional fluids (such as water, mineral oil and ethylene glycol). The poor heat transfer properties of the employed fluids in the industries are obstacles for using different types of heat exchangers. Nanofluid is a new engineering fluid which could improve the performance of heat exchanger. The aim of this study is to review based on previous research about the effect of different nano fluid having different nano particle concentrations i.e. 0.05, 0.15 and 0.30 percentage on the overall heat transfer coefficient, heat transfer rate and cooling achieved of shell and tube heat exchanger. The results shows the nano fluid can provide better alternative in the field of coolant compare then traditional coolants used in the industry.
