Abstract:The heat transfer characteristics of nanofluid produced by mixing nano titania with transformer oil, facilitated by addition of surfactants are analyzed. A 2D model is used to analyze the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of nano fluid for understanding the formation of hot spots in the chamber filled with nanofluid. Governing equations for conservation of mass, momentum and energy for capturing the above characteristics are described. The temperature along the vertical mid line from the hot spot ar… 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.
