HEAT TRANSFER ENHANCEMENT OF NANO PARTICLES

This study reports the Conventional fluids such as water ethylene glycol are normally used as heat transfer fluids. They play an important role in many industry sectors including power generation chemical production air conditioning transportation and microelectronics. Various techniques are applied to enhance the heat transfer; the low heat transfer performance of these conventional fluids obstructs the performance enhancement and the compactness of heat exchangers. The use of solid particles as an additive suspended into the base fluid is a technique for heat transfer enhancement. Improving of the thermal conductivity is a key idea to improve the heat transfer characteristics of conventional fluids.
