Abstract


Heat exchanger is a device which is very important in every modern industry. Cerium Oxide is used as a nanofluid in this research paper which is made by mixing Cerium Oxide (CeO2) and water. The thermal performance analysis of double pipe heat exchanger is performed by changing the composition of Cerium Oxide nanofluid . At different flow rates (7, 8, 9 litres/min) of nanofluid, flow volume concentration (2%, 3%, 4%) of nanoparticles in nanofluid is varied in doble pipe heat exchanger and experimentation analysis is carried out. To analyse the performance of heat exchanger, Experimental results such as heat transfer rates, overall heat transfer coefficient, Reynolds number and Nusselt number is calculated. The objective of this research work is to determine the use of Nano fluids to improve the heat exchanger’s performances also at what percentage of Nanoparticle-coolant mixture, the performance of double pipe heat exchanger will obtain maximum heat transfer rate.
