Investigation Of Heat Transfer Enhancement In The Flat Plate Solar Collector Using Nano Fluid

Abstract

This research presents overview about Nano fluid with solar collector applications, an existing emerging class of heat transfer fluid, in terms of barriers, future research and environmental challenges. Nano fluids are used to increase the performance of many thermal engineering systems. By referring the experimental investigation [55], the main objective is to prepare a CFD model and using Nano fluid as flowing fluid, which investigate the efficiency of square flat plate solar collector and enhancement in heat transfer with the use of different Nano fluid as compare to water . Therefore we are adopting the simulation method to resolve the problem of Use of Nano fluid in the flat plate collector and to get the improved results by using computational fluid analysis in ANSYS 15.0 by FLUID FLOW FLUENT solver. The center point was to evaluate the use of different Nano fluid in the developed region of the tube flow containing water + Nano fluid (Al203 and Ti2O, CuO, and SiO2) on heat transfer characteristics. It was perceived that all Nano fluids (Al203 and Ti2O, CuO, and SiO2) revealed higher heat transfer characteristics than that of the base fluid (water). Furthermore the Nusselt number and the surface heat transfer coefficient is higher for CuO + Water Nano fluid as compare to other Nano fluid which are investigated on the basis of Reynolds and Nusselt number. Moreover we investigate the heat transfer characteristics with different pipe diameter for the (CuO + water) Nano fluid.
