Analysis of spiral plate heat exchanger used to cool vegetable oil with nanofluid consisting of water and non-spherical boehmite alumina nanoparticles
Élcio Nogueira
Abstract:The objective is to use dimensionless analysis through the thermal efficiency method to determine the thermohydraulic performance of a spiral plate heat exchanger (SPHE) used to cool sunflower oil. The coolant consists of water as a base fluid and non-spherical Boehmite Alumina nanoparticles with a defined volume fraction. The concept of thermal efficiency for heat exchangers is used to determine the main quantities used in the analysis. Graphical results are presented for the number of thermal units (NTU), th… Show more
