Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Heterogeneous Nanofluids in Pipes
Keyword(s):
Heterogeneous nanofluid flow in pipes is simulated. Assuming incompressible, axisymmetric, and laminar flow, effect of nanoparticle distribution and Prandtl number on flow and heat transfer characteristics is investigated. With nanoparticle overall volume concentration of 0.05, up to 20% heat transfer enhancement was predicted for fully developed heterogeneous flow compared to homogeneous nanofluid. At the entrance region, the enhancement is shown to increase with increasing Prandtl number.
