In this paper, overall heat transfer coefficient and friction factor of water based γ-Al2O3 nanofluid in a double tube counter flow heat exchanger have been measured experimentally under turbulent flow condition. For better dispersion of γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles in distilled water, magnetic stirrer and ultrasonic vibrator (with a power of 240 kW and frequency of 35 kHz) were implemented. The stabi...

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...

The study of boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting visco-elastic second grade fluid in a porous medium past a stretching sheet is conducting with power law surface temperature or power law surface heat flux. The flow in boundary layer is considered to be generated solely by the linear stretching of the boundary sheet adjacent to porous medium in a magnetic field wi...

the effect of γ-al2o3 nanoparticles on heat transfer rate, baffle spacing and pressure drop in the shell side of small shell and tube heat exchangers was investigated numerically under turbulent regime. γ-al2o3-water nanofluids and pure water were used in the shell side and the tube side of heat exchangers, respectively. since the properties of γ-al2o3-water nanofluids were variable, they were ...

an irreversible stirling heat pump cycle using ferromagnetic materials as a cyclic working substance is established. the influences of finite-rate heat transfer, heat leak, regeneration time, regenerative lossand the internal irreversibility on the cyclic performance of magnetic heat pumps are taken into account. on the basis of the thermodynamic properties of ferromagnetic materials, the perfo...

Bubble columns are gas- liquid contactors that are widely used in chemical and bio- chemical industries. High mixing that result in high heat and mass transfer rates are amongst their advantages. Heat transfer in a bubble column having a bundle of heaters investigated and the variation of heat transfer coefficient with variation in heaters pitch to diameter ratios in a bundle of heaters reporte...

Basic understanding of the process of coolant heat transfer inside an engine is an indispensable prerequisite to devise an infallible cooling strategy. Coolant flow and its heat transfer affect the cooling efficiency, thermal load of heated components, and thermal efficiency of a diesel engine. An efficient approach to studying cooling system for diesel engine is a 3D computational fluid dynami...
