Nano-fluid is a suspension of nano particles in the base fluids like water to enhance heat transfer. Nano-fluids is a class of fluids used for the cooling and heating process. This paper reports an investigation of the optimum concentration of AL<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> in water for solar application based on stability checking using the zeta potential method. In this study, computational fluid dynamics analysis was performed using the Ansyss Fluent software for the different concentrations. Results are analyzed, and simulated result shows that heat transfer coefficient increases as concentration increase, and for a given geometry, Nusselt number rises as Reynolds number rises, which is used for the solar application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
