DEVELOPMENT OF NEW CORRELATIONS FOR NUSSELT NUMBER AND FRICTION FACTOR OF TiO_2/WATER BASED NANOFLUID FLOW IN V-PATTERN PROTRUSION RIBBED SQUARE CHANNEL

Abstract

Nanofluids play important roles in the heat transfer and flow characteristics in ribbed square channels. Systematic experiments are conducted to measure heat transfer enhancement and TiO ଶ െ H ଶ O based nanofluid flow characteristics on a protruded with combined V-type ribbed square channel. Reynolds number studied in the channel range from 4000-18000. Investigational parameters of square channel contain, volume fraction range of 1.0-4.0%, particle diameter range of 30nm-45nm, relative protruded rib height range of 0.10-0.25, ratio of protruded height to print diameter range of 0.8-2.0, relative protruded rib pitch ratio range of 2.0-3.5 and angle of attack of 30 0 -75 0 respectively. Results indicates that the thermal performance of the protruded combined V-type ribbed square channel falls with increasing Reynolds number. The highest value of thermal hydraulic performance parameter is found to be 3.21for the range of parameters investigated. Correlations predicting Nusselt number and friction factor as a function of volume fraction, particle diameter range, relative protruded rib height, ratio of protruded height to print diameter, relative protruded rib pitch ratio, angle of attack and flow parameter. The correlations for Nusselt number and friction factor have also been developed on the basis of experimental data with considerable good accuracy.

Yashwant Singh et al (2018) described that a development of new correlations for nusselt number and friction factor of tio2/water based nanofluid flow in v-pattern protrusion ribbed square channel.…”

Numerical investigation of heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of ternary nanofluids through convergent and divergent channels

“…In ref. 24, a square duct was tested to enhance the heat transfer rate by introducing surface roughness, and a mixture of ethylene glycol, zinc oxide, and water was used as the nanofluid. The objective of this study was to increase the heat transfer and friction factor by manipulating variables such as the volume fraction of nanoparticles in base fluids, flow attack angle, and Reynolds number.…”

A Review on Exergy Analysis of Nanofluid Flow Through Several Conduits

“…The critical role of the exergy analysis in the several engineering systems and processes including fuel cells, latent heat thermal energy storage, heat exchangers and thermal desalination of energy systems as well as identification of their actual and theoretical limits of performance were recognized by different researchers (Singh, et al 2018) (Shabgard and Faghri 2019). Various researcher has provided the key insights on how the available energy (exergy) is being destroyed during the process and the ways to minimize its destruction through entropy generation minimization approach (Dutta and Biswas 2018), (Jedsadaratanachai and Boonloia 2018).…”
