Study and Influence of heat transfer Characteristics in a Heat Exchanger by using Nanofluids: A Review

Abstract

Abstract

Heat transfer play an important role in various applications like Radiator in Automobiles, Refrigerators, Electronic equipment’s etc.  Therefore, heat transfer effectiveness can limit the related power utilization. The method for increasing heat exchanger effectiveness is to build higher conductivity of working liquid. The endeavor of this review summarizes the different research work articles on the improvement of the various heat transfer characteristics in heat exchangers utilizing nanofluids on two categories. The first category of papers emphasizes on thermo-physical properties of various nanofluids and second category of the paper focuses on the upgradation of  heat transfer characteristics in heat exchangers by the utilization of nanofluids. In this paper, a review study has been made with different volume concentration groupings of nanofluids.

Keywords: Heat transfer effectiveness, conductivity, thermo-physical properties, heat transfer characteristics, nanofluid.
