Pulsating heat pipe is an efficient heat exchange device which is being used for cooling and heating recovery. In the present work, we made a closed-loop pulsating heat pipe with six U-turns and we used water in our system. Moreover the use of water-Fe3O4 nanofluid was studied with two different filling ratios 40% and 50% and 1% mass concentration. At the end we calculated heat resistance and h...

objective(s): this study aims to evaluate and predict the thermal conductivity of iron oxide nanofluid at different temperatures and volume fractions by artificial neural network (ann) and correlation using experimental data. methods: two-layer perceptron feedforward artificial neural network and backpropagation levenberg-marquardt (bp-lm) training algorithm are used to predict the thermal cond...

Stable magnetic nanofluids containing Fe3O4@Polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by using a facile and novel method, in which one-pot route was used. FeCl3·6H2O was applied as the iron source, and the oxidizing agent to produce PPy. Trisodium citrate (Na3cit) was used as the reducing reagent to form Fe3O4 NPs. The as-prepared nanofluid can keep long-term stability. The Fe3O4@PPy ...

This paper discusses the forced convective heat transfer characteristics of water–ethylene glycol (EG)-based Fe3O4 nanofluid and Fe3O4–MWCNT hybrid under effect a magnetic field. The results indicated that coefficient nanofluids increased with an increase in strength When field was varied from 0 to 750 G, maximum coefficients were observed for 0.2 wt% 0.1 Fe3O4–MWNCT nanofluids, improvements ap...

Nanofluids are produced by suspending different solid nano-size materials (metal and nonmetal) in a base liquid often used energy systems to increase thermal performance heat transfer rate. The main problem observed nanofluids applications is their instability. Researchers have developed proposed some solutions obtain stable nanofluids. One of the most important solutions, nanoparticles surface...

In this study, convection flow in microchannel heat sink with offset fan-shaped reentrant cavities in sidewall filled with Fe3O4-water is numerically investigated. The effects of changing some parameters such as Reynolds number and magnetic field are considered. The nanofluid flow is laminar, steady and incompressible, while the thermo-physical properties of nanoparticles were assumed constant....

The goal of this paper is to experimentally study the behavior of nanofluid to improve the performance of a circular heat pipe. Pure water and Al2O3-water based nanofluid are used as working fluids. An experimental setup is designed and constructed to study the heat pipe performance under different operating conditions. The effect of filling ratio, volume fraction of nano-particle in the base f...

In this work, the effect of a variable spatial magnetic field on ferro-nanofluid flow and heat transfer in a double-sided lid-driven enclosure with a sinusoidal hot wall is investigated. The working fluid is a mixture of iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles and water and is referred to as a ferro-nanofluid. The control volume-based finite element method (CVFEM) is used to solve the governing equati...
