Abstract:This study investigates the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of pure water passing through a double tube heat exchanger (DTHX). Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were conducted using ANSYS-FLUENT 22 R1 software. Mathematical models and thermophysical properties of nanofluids and water from existing literature were employed. The comparison focused on pure water and 1% Al2O3/H2O nanofluids. Various operating variables such as Reynolds number and temperature were considered across the inn… Show more
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.
