Abstract

Numerical study was performed to investigate the convective heat transfer of Al2O3/water nanofluid flowing through the concentric double pipe counterflow heat exchangers. Hot fluid flowing through the inner pipe transfers its heat to cooling fluid flowing in the outer pipe. Effects of important parameters such as hot and cold volume flow rates, fluid type in the outer and inner pipes, and nanoparticles concentration on the heat transfer and flow characteristics are investigated. The results indicated that the heat transfer performance increases with increasing the hot and cold volume flow rates, as well as the particle concentrations. When both outer and inner pipes are nanofluids with 8% nanoparticle volume concentration, nanofluids showed up to 17% better heat transfer rate than basic fluids. Also, the average heat transfer coefficient of the base fluid for annulus-side improved by 31%. Approximately 20% enhancement in the heat exchanger effectiveness can be achieved with the addition of 8% alumina particles in base fluid. But, addition of nanoparticles to the base fluid enhanced friction factor by about 196%.

동심 이중관에서 기본유체 물과 나노입자 산화알미늄의 혼합인 나노유체를 적용한 대향유동을 유한체적법의 수치적 방법으로 열전달 특성을 규명하였다. 고온유체는 내부 원형관으로 흐르며 열을 외부 환형관으로 흐르는 저온유체로 전달한다. 고온유체와 저온유체의 체적유량 및 나노입자의 체적농도를 변수로 두어 열전달 및 유동 특성을 조사했다. 결과는 나노입자의 체적농도와 체적유량의 증가함에 따라 열전달 성능이 증가함을 보였다. 외부와 내부 관 모두에서 나노유체인 경우가 기본유체보다 나노입자의 체적농도가 8%일 때 나노유체가 열전달 성능이 최대 17% 증가하는 것을 확인했다. 또한 기본유체에 비해 환형관의 대류열전달 계수는 최대 31% 증가함을 보였으며 열교환기의 유용도는 약 20%가 상승함을 확인하였다. 하지만 나노입자의 체적농도가 8%일때 마찰인자가 최대 136% 커지는 것을 확인하였다.
