Abstract
In this investigation, the analysis of the heat transfer coefficient of a shell, helically coiled convergent-divergent tube heat exchanger has been carried out by utilizing Al2O3/water nanofluid. The nanofluid was prepared using a two-stage technique with proportions of 0.1vol%, 0.3vol%, and 0.5vol%. The inner heat transfer coefficient, overall heat transfer coefficient, and Nusselt number were analyzed and it found that the heat transfer coefficient is increased, with increase of inner dean number and particle volume concentration. The experimental tests were carried out in the range of 1100
期刊介绍:
The main aims of Thermal Science
to publish papers giving results of the fundamental and applied research in different, but closely connected fields:
fluid mechanics (mainly turbulent flows), heat transfer, mass transfer, combustion and chemical processes
in single, and specifically in multi-phase and multi-component flows
in high-temperature chemically reacting flows
processes present in thermal engineering, energy generating or consuming equipment, process and chemical engineering equipment and devices, ecological engineering,
The important characteristic of the journal is the orientation to the fundamental results of the investigations of different physical and chemical processes, always jointly present in real conditions, and their mutual influence. To publish papers written by experts from different fields: mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and related fields. To inform international scientific community about the recent, and most prominent fundamental results achieved in the South-East European region, and particularly in Serbia, and - vice versa - to inform the scientific community from South-East European Region about recent fundamental and applied scientific achievements in developed countries, serving as a basis for technology development. To achieve international standards of the published papers, by the engagement of experts from different countries in the International Advisory board.
