Abstract:Nanofluids consist of nanoparticles made of materials with high thermal conductivity suspended in a base fluid such as water. In theory, the presence of thermally conductive nanoparticles in a base fluid improves the heat transfer performance of the resulting nanofluid. This paper numerically investigates the impact of nanoparticles on the energy performance of a district cooling system. The current work focuses on using Cu-water nanofluid as the working fluid for the secondary chilled water loop. It examines … 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.
