Numerical investigation for turbulent flow of nanofluid (Ethylene glycol/water-Al2O3) is carried out with a volume fraction 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%. The diameter solid nanoparticles equal to 20 nm. range Reynolds number in this simulation from 6300 27500 through three-dimensional steel corrugated spirally tube. For enhancement the heat transfer performance internal horizontal tube, tube combined alu...

In the present study, mixed convection laminar flow around an adiabatic body in a Lid-driven enclosure filled with nanofluid using variable thermal conductivity and variable viscosity is numerically investigated. The fluid around the body in the enclosure is a water- based nanofluid containing Al2O3 nanoparticles. The Vertical enclosure’s walls are maintained at constant cold temperature an...

In this paper, Turbulent mixed convective heat transfer of water and Al2O3 nanofluid has been numerically studied in a horizontal tube under non-uniform heat flux on the upper wall and insulation in the lower wall using mixture model. For the discretization of governing equations, the second-order upstream difference scheme and finite volume method were used. The coupling of pressure and veloci...

In this paper, a new geometry has been proposed to increase heat transfer in tubes. The fluid used was water-aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanofluid. results showed that the study (compared simple tube) addition increasing transfer, reduced flow pressure drop, which is great advantage over previous methods. Reynolds numbers of 2-300 and nanoparticle volume fraction 0-3.5% have investigated. Profile te...
