Experimental study of turbulent forced convection of nanofluid in channels with cylindrical and spherical hollows

Abstract: Experimental study of forced turbulent convection of water-based nanofluids with nanoparticles of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) was carried out in smooth tubes and channels with wall heat transfer enhancers. Nanopowders with average particle size of 44 and 105 nm were used in the experiments. The Reynolds number ranged from 3000 to 8000. It is revealed that the increments in the heat transfer coefficient and the pressure drop when using nanofluids depend on the surface shape of the channel. It is shown that nanofluid… Show more

“…Minakov et al 126 have calculated the hydrodynamic length (lh) for stabilization in the tube using Equation (33). They have concluded that for 44 nm‐sized ZrO 2 ‐water nanofluids, the HT enhancement ( h ) is increased by 35% and for 105 nm‐sized ZrO 2 ‐water nanofluids, the HT enhancement ( h ) is decreased by 20% compared to pure water at a fixed Re number.…”

“…Similar observation also was found by Zainal Abidin et al [87] and Abdullah et al [3] however for different types of nanofluids. Furthermore, Minakov et al [88] evaluated the heat transfer performance of ZrO2/water nanofluids for 4.0% volume concentrations with different nanoparticle sizes of 44 and 105 nm. The experiment was undertaken for Reynolds number of 3,000 to 8,000 and different types of tubes viz.…”
