Convective heat transfer enhancement of the Water-based magnetite nanofluids in the presence of a 3-D low-intensity magnetic field

convective heat transfer enhancement of the water-based magnetite nanofluids in the presence of a 3-d low-intensity magnetic field

in the current investigation, fe3o4 water-based nanofluids were synthesized to examine the effect of an alternative 3-d external magnetic field on its thermal behavioral pattern. a solvothermal method was used to prepare the magnetite nanoparticles. to characterize the nanoparticles, the study employed transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,...

Convective Heat Transfer Enhancement of CNT-Water Nanofluids in Plain Tube Fitted with Wire Coil Inserts

Study of Chemically Reactive Flow and Heat Transfer in the Presence of a Uniform Magnetic Field

The effects of chemical reaction, thermal stratification, Soret and Dufour numbers on magneto-hydrodynamic free convective heat and mass transfer of a viscous, incompressible,and electrically conducting fluid on a vertical stretching surface embedded in a saturated porous medium are presented. A similarity transform is used to reduce the governing partial differential equations into a syste...

Nanofluids for Heat Transfer Enhancement – A Review

A nanofluid is a dilute liquid suspension of particles with at least one critical dimension smaller than ~100 nm. Research works so far suggest that nanofluids offer excellent heat transfer enhancement over conventional base fluids. The enhancement depends on several factors such as particle shape, particle size distribution, volume fraction of nanoparticles, temperature, pH, and thermal conduc...

Measurement of Local Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient of Alumina-Water Nanofluids in a Double Tube Heat Exchanger

Heat transfer coefficient and thermal efficiency of γ-Al2O3/water nanofluids flowing through a double tube heat exchanger were experimentally investigated. The nanoparticles were well dispersed in distilled water at 0.05–0.15 %vol. A large number of experiments were performed at different fluid flow rates under turbulent flow regime (18,000<Re<40,000) and various nanofluid...
