The aim of this
experiment was to investigate convection heat transfer in the cooling processes
of Al2O3-water nanofluid in concentrations of 0.15%, 0.25% and 0.5% by volume,
respectively. The test section was a 1.25 m brass pipe with a 4.9 mm inner
diameter and outer pipe of 38.5 mm diameter of a counter flow double-pipe heat
exchanger. The temperatures at the nanofluid inlet in the inner pipe were a
constant 40oC, and 23oC for the water at the inlet of the outer pipe. The
results of this study indicated a more enhanced coefficient convective heat
transfer of the cooling process than that of the heating process. The new
equation of the Nusselt number obtained in the cooling process was Nunf=0.75Re 0.846
Pr -2.28 φ0.03 at particle volume concentrations of 0.15%, 0.25% and 0.5%. The maximum
ratio enhancement of the nanofluid heat transfer in the cooling process was
45.2% at a particle volume concentration of 0.25%, while for the heating process
nanofluid heat transfer was same as that for distilled water.
