Implementation of Nanofluids in Plate Heat Exchanger: a Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nanofluids are colloidal suspensions of nanosized particles in the conventional base fluid such as water, engine oil and ethylene glycol. The nanoparticles include the chemically stable metals, metal oxides and nonmetallic. In the present study, the literature available on the applications of nanofluids in plate heat exchanger have been compiled and reviewed. However, this paper elaborates the thermal performance of nanofluids in plate heat exchangers (PHEs) based on experimental studies. The aim of this review to focus on experimental investigation on variety of nanofluids as a cooling media in plate heat exchanger based on available literature.

متن کاملHeat Transfer Analysis of Nanofluid in a Sine Wave Plate Heat Exchanger
Heat transfer is one of the most critical processes in the industry, and by increasing the efficiency of the heat exchanger, energy consumption of systems will be reduced. Very tiny particles in nanoscale dimensions, when uniformly dispersed and stably suspended in the base fluid, efficiently improve the thermal properties of the base fluid. With the help of nanofluids, the heat transfer rate i...
