Nanofluids have good potential in enhancing the heat transfer performance of conventional fluids. In the present paper, the heat transfer performance of Fe3O4 and its Hybrid mixture with Fe3O4 and SiC nanoparticles in the volume ratio of 50:50 in 20:80 Ethylene Glycol (EG) –Water as base fluid are determined experimentally and the results are compared with that of the base fluid. The volume concentration range of nanoparticles considered in the analysis is 0.01% to 0.08%. The experiment is carried under turbulent flow conditions with Reynolds number ranging from 5000 to 20000 in a Double Pipe Heat Exchanger (DPHE) with U-bend. Results indicate that the thermal conductivity of hybrid nanofluid is higher by 16.19% and its viscosity is lower by 11.6% compared to Fe3O4 /20:80 EG-Water nanofluid at an operating temperature of 45°C. The heat transfer coefficient and overall performance of hybrid nanofluid are better than Fe3O4 /20:80 EG-Water nanofluid. The overall performance of Hybrid nanofluid is 27.75% better than that of Fe3O4 /20:80 EG-Water nanofluid.

This study aims to enhancement of heat transfer in double pipe heat exchanger by improving the thermal properties of base fluid which is water by adding AL2O3-Fe2O3 nanoparticles to the water. Al2O3-Fe2O3/water hybrid Nanofluid were examined experimentally and numerically at different flow rates ranging between (3 -7) Lpm at temperature of 25°C in an external tube while there was a hot water at a temperature of 60°C and a flow rate ranged between (3 – 5) Lpm running in the central tube of a double pipe counter heat exchanger. Also, the effect of various concentrations ranged between (0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25 and 0.3%) of Al2O3-Fe2O3 nanoparticles dispersed in water on the rate of heat transfer, friction coefficient were verified experimentally and numerically . The ratio of Al2O3-Fe2O3 is 0.5:0.5. The experimental and numerical study indicated that with the rate of heat transfer increases when the concentration of suspended nanoparticles in the base fluid increases , but on the other hand, the skin friction coefficient and pressure drop increases as well with increasing the concentration of nanoparticles. The maximum enhancement in heat transfer for AL2O3-Fe2O3 is about 6 % . The results from the experimental study were largely consistent with the numerical results.

In this article, simulation analysis has been performed for the flow and heat transfer performance of spiral flow double-pipe heat exchanger using finite volume method, respectively for the relationship between Nu and the average shear force on inner pipe outer wall at different turbulent flow Re with different radial offset of inlet and outlet pipes and different spacing of inlet and outlet pipes. The results show that, as compared with an ordinary double-pipe heat exchanger, in a spiral flow double-pipe heat exchanger, both inner pipe convective heat exchange coefficient and inner pipe wall surface shear force are lower, with the magnitude of reduction related to a number of factors such as radial offset of inlet and outlet pipes and Re. The study in this article has provided theoretical basis for further engineering application of spiral flow double-pipe heat exchangers.
