Abstract Efforts to replace conventional fluids as coolants for heat transfers with new fluids are continuously being made to improve heat transfer efficiency. Nanofluids are currently widely studied around the world as candidates for conventional fluids substitutes. In this research, the synthesis of Al2O3-ZrO2 nanocomposites for heat transfer nanofluid applications was carried out. The synthesis of the nanoparticles was conducted by the hydrothermal method. Here, we used ZrO2 to improve the characteristics of Al2O3. The results of XRD analysis showed that the nanocomposite had an Al2O3 gamma structure. The Al2O3 nanoparticles and Al2O3-ZrO2 nanocomposite have a crystallite size of 7.41 nm and 6.84 nm, respectively. The addition of 0.1 % ZrO2 decreased the crystallite size and BET particle size and increased the zeta potential, hence the stability of the nanofluids. The increase of stability increased the heat transfer coefficient of the Al2O3 nanofluids, making them suitable for heat transfer.

Two phase flow instabilities and in particular density wave oscillations, DWO, are strongly dependent on the internal and external characteristics of the system. Although significant work has been done investigating the characteristics of the stability of the oscillations, the effect of the oscillations on the heat transfer coefficient demands further research. In this work, the influence of a parallel bypass to the test section on the heat transfer coefficient during density wave oscillations is studied. It is observed that in the case of small amplitude DWO the influence of the bypass is negligible, while for the case of large amplitude DWO that reach conditions of flow reversal the heat transfer coefficient can be enhanced. This fact is attributed to cold liquid entering at the outlet of the test section from the bypass preventing the dryout of the wall at high qualities.

The subject of heat transfer behaviors of steam generator is of great interest for better heat transfer efficiency and safety in industry. On most previous study, the models of SG based on RELAP5 used heat structures as the power generation, which is different from heating by primary side. This paper investigates the distinctions of different heat transfer methods on the thermal-hydraulic parameters by RELAP5. Two different heat transfers are selected, case 1 is uniformly heated by heat structure and case 2 is heated by the primary side of SG. The results show that the onset position of critical heat flux for case 2 is ahead of that for case 1. Besides, the temperature of tube wall corresponding to position of critical heat flux increases abruptly in case 1, and the wall temperature in superheated region in case 1 increases faster than that in case 2 when the water becomes fully superheated vapor. Then instability distinctions for two heat transfer cases are studied in this investigation. It is detected the fluid flow heated by second method is more stable than the first one, and the system has a higher ultimate thermal power when density wave oscillation occurs for case 2.

Working fluid with higher thermal conductivity and tube with better fluid mixing are two crucial elements for heat transfer enhancement in heat exchanger system. Hence, several methods and techniques have been explored to improve heat transfer efficiency, including dispersing nanoparticles into conventional heat transfer fluid and inserting instruments inside the tube of the heat exchanger. Studies have shown that nanofluid can improve heat transfer efficiency of the system due to its higher thermal conductivity and drastic Brownian motion of nanoparticles while inserts within tube can improve heat transfer efficiency by increasing axial velocity of working fluid for better fluid mixing. This article summarized 109 of journals from recent research on heat transfer enhancement of nanofluid flowing inside the tube with inserts as well as discussing the significant parameters that affected the system’s efficiency such as nanoparticles’ volume fraction, Reynolds number and types and configurations of inserts. Ultimately, analysis will be carried out to determine the most suitable modification of twisted tape inserts with the most optimum value of nanoparticle volume fraction for turbulence flow regime. Finally, some problems that need to be solved for future research such as agglomeration and pressure drop are discussed.

It is crucial to control the temperature of solar cells for enhancing efficiency with the increasing power intensity of multiple photovoltaic systems. In order to improve the heat transfer efficiency, a microchannel heat sink (MCHS) with V-ribs using a water-based nanofluid as a coolant for micro solar cells was designed. Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the flows and heat transfers in the MCHS when the Reynolds number ranges from 200 to 1000. The numerical results showed that the periodically arranged V-ribs can interrupt the thermal boundary, induce chaotic convection, increase heat transfer area, and subsequently improve the heat transfer performance of a MCHS. In addition, the preferential values of the geometric parameters of V-ribs and the physical parameters of the nanofluid were obtained on the basis of the Nusselt numbers at identical pump power. For MCHS with V-ribs on both the top and bottom wall, preferential values of V-rib are rib width d / W = 1 , flare angle α = 75 ° , rib height h r / H = 0.3 , and ratio of two slant sides b / a = 0.75 , respectively. This can provide sound foundations for the design of a MCHS in micro solar cells.

Heat transfer fluids are a crucial parameter that affects the size and costs of heat exchangers. However, the available coolants like water and oils have low thermal conductivities, which put many limitations to the development of heat transfer to achieve high performance cooling. The need for development of new classes of fluids which enhance the heat transfer capabilities attracted the attention of many researchers. In the last few decades, modern nanotechnology developed nanoparticles, which have unique thermal and electrical properties that could help improve heat transfer using nanofluids. A “nanofluid” is a fluid with suspended fine nanoparticles which increases the heat transfer properties compared with the original fluid. Nanofluids are considered a new generation of heat transfer fluids and are considered two-phase fluids of liquid solid mixtures. The efficiency of the fluid could be improved by enhancing its thermal properties, especially the thermal conductivity, and it is expected that the nanofluids will have a greater thermal conductivity than the base fluids. This paper reviews the preparation of metallic and nonmetallic nanofluids along with the stability of the produced nanofluids. Physical and thermal properties as well as a range of applications are also discussed in detail.

Hydrothermal synthesis of nano ZrO2 powders were carried out at a temperature range of 100 to 200°C, using zirconium solution. Formation of ZrO2 formation was accelerated with temperature and precipitation of ZrO2 took place directly from the solution. XRD analysis revealed that monoclinic ZrO2 was formed at all conditions. Crystallite size was found to range from 2.6 to 4 nm. Mean particle size increased from 93 nm at 135°C to 125 nm at 200°C after reaction time of 2 h.

Laminar heat transfer is analyzed in a tube rotating about an axis perpendicular to the tube axis. The solution applies for flow that is either radially outward from the axis of rotation, or radially inward toward the axis of rotation. The conditions are fully developed, and there is uniform heat addition at the tube wall. The analysis is performed by expanding velocities and temperature in power series using the Taylor number as a perturbation parameter. Coriolis and buoyancy forces caused by tube rotation are included, and the solution is calculated through second-order terms. The secondary flow induced by the Coriolis terms always tends to increase the heat transfer coefficient; this effect can dominate for small wall heating. For radial inflow, buoyancy also tends to improve heat transfer. For radial outflow, however, buoyancy tends to reduce heat transfer; for large wall heating this effect can dominate, and there is a net reduction in heat transfer coefficient.
