Experimental Investigation on Convective Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop in Vertical and Horizontal Helically Coiled Tube Heat Exchanger using MWCNT/ Water Nanofluid
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
In this investigation, a compare the convective thermal energy transfer and pressure losses characteristics of Multiwall carbon nanotube water- based nanofluid in a shape of a helix coiled tube heat exchanger with the position is vertical and horizontal are presented. The experiments were conducted under turbulent flow and constant wall temperature regimes using MWCNT/water -based traditional fluid of 0.1percentage and 0.3percentage volume fractions. The examiner results indicate that there is no higher assorted between vertical and horizontal organize in the improvement of convective thermal energy transport and pressure drop of nanofluid evaluation to water. The Nusselt number is increased with increase the nanofluid volume fraction at turbulent flow.
