Abstract:

This study reports the influence of TiO2 nanofluid on the thermal performance of a 6063 Aluminium Alloy(A.A.) Two-Phase Closed Thermosyphon(TPCT) for various heat inputs, inclination angles and flow rates. The present study aims at experimentally demonstrating the improved performance of a 6063 AA TPCT while using a TiO2 nanofluid. A straight 6063 AA TPCT with an inner diameter of 9mm, the wall thickness of 1 mm and the length of 750mm was used in the experimental setup. The model has been generated to validate the performance of 6063 AA TPCT by Response Surface Methodology (R.S. M).
