Abstract

CFD analysis is performed for the estimation of convective heat transfer and friction factor of Al2O3/water nano-fluid flow in a double pipe heat exchanger in the Reynolds number range from 3000 to 24000. The prototype of heat exchanger was developed using ANSYS 14.0 workbench. The inner and annulus tube materials used in this study is stainless steel and cast iron respectively. The particle volume concentrations of 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% were used in this analysis. The mass flow rate of hot fluid kept constant and the mass flow rate of Al2O3/water nano-fluid is 0.25 kg/sec. The temperatures of nano-fluids flow in a heat exchanger are kept at 333 K. The results revealed that as volume fraction and Reynolds number increased Nusselt number increased, and friction factor decreased. Based on the numerical results, the Nusselt number enhancement for 0.3% nano-fluid is 18%.
