Abstract:

The transfer of thermal energy between fluids is one of the most important and frequently used processes in engineering and industries due to which subject of potential heat transfer enhancement in conventional fluids receives great attention in research. As the conventional fluids like water, ethylene glycol and engine oil etc. generally used in thermal devices such as heat exchanger have poor heat transfer performance. During earlier research, in order to increase the convective heat transfer rate in fluids, micro or millimeter sized particles having high thermal conductivity are diffused in base fluid but there have been problem by means of corrosion of pipes, clogging, large pressure drops and sedimentation. To overcome this problem, the use of nanometer sized particles dispersed in base fluids and thermal conductivity enhancement is obtained. The nanoparticles used in nanofluids are typically made of metals, metal oxides, carbides and carbon nanotubes. And nanofluids are obtained by a liquid suspension of nano sized particles in base fluid. Nanofluids found to possess better heat transfer properties such as high thermal conductivity, improved stability and reduced particle clogging etc. Thus the evolution of nanofluids as a new class of heat transfer fluids have become the topic of much interest for researchers.
