Abstract

In recent years, research is directed towards enhancing the thermo-physical properties of single-component nanofluids. Hence, a hybrid or composite nanofluid is developed to improve heat transfer performance. The thermophysical properties of the Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 nanoparticles suspended in the base of water (W) and ethylene glycol (EG) blends with vol 60:40 or Ternary Nanofluids for various volume concentrations are investigated. The experiments were undertaken for the concentration volume of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0% of Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 nanofluids with 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 °C. Thermal conductivity measurements and dynamic viscosity are carried out at temperatures ranging from 30-70 °C.  The highest thermal conductivity of Ternary nanofluids was obtained at a concentration of 3.0%, and the maximum increase was up to 27.1% higher than the base fluid (EG/W). Ternary nanofluids at a concentration of 0.5% give the lowest effective thermal conductivity of 14.4% at 70°C. Meanwhile, the evidence from the dynamic viscosity of the Ternary nanofluids is influenced by concentration and temperature. Furthermore, Ternary nanofluids behaviour as Newtonian fluid in volume concentration from 0.5-3.0%. The development of a new correlation for thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of Ternary nanofluids are precise. In conclusion, the combination of enhancement in thermal conductivity and a dynamic viscosity at a concentration of 3.0% has optimum conditions, which have more advantages for heat transfer than at other concentrations.

Abstract

The use of increased heat transfer techniques, can improve the thermal performance of the tubes. Computational fluid dynamics studies have been carried out to study the heat transfer characteristics and friction factor of the Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 nanofluids-ethylene glycol (EG)/water (W) (40:60) flowing in the plain tube. The three-dimensional turbulent k-ε model that can be realized with enhanced use of heat treatment on the wall is used for turbulent flow regime. The overall evaluation of tubular performance-tested is based on thermo-hydrodynamic performance index. The results showed that behavioural differences depend on the selected parameters to compare tri-hybrid nanofluids with the base fluid. In addition, the heat transfer coefficient increases with the increase in volume concentration of nanoparticles at the same Reynolds number. The friction factor of Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 nanofluids decreased exponentially with an increase of Reynolds number. The conventional correlations that have been used in turbulent flow regimes to predict heat transfer rates and friction factors are Dittus-Boelter and Blasius correlations, for tubes also apply to tri-hybrid nanofluids tested which assume that tri-hybrid nanofluids have a homogeneous fluid behaviour.
