Heat Transfer Augmentation in Heat Exchanger using Nanofluid: A Review

Due to the limitation of fossil fuels, shortage of energy, optimization of energy consumption in various industrial processes becomes very important and challenging issue all over the world. A reduction in energy consumption is possible by enhancing the performance of heat exchanger and it is one of the most important devices related to energy and heat transfer. Nano fluid is a new engineering fluid which could improve the performance of heat exchanger. Nano fluids have greater potential for heat transfer enhancement and highly suited to application in practical heat transfer processes. Heat exchanger using Nano fluid is a device in which the heat transfer takes place by using Nano fluid. Nano fluid is made by the suspending Nano particles in the fluid like water, ethylene glycol and oil, hydrocarbons, fluorocarbons etc. The main focus of this paper is to determine the possibility and future scope of Nano fluids in the terms of heat transfer augmentation. This review covers the enhancement of heat transfer by using Nano fluids and potential applications of Nano fluids. This paper presents an updated review of the heat transfer applications of Nano fluids to develop directions for future work because the literature in this area is spread over a wide range of disciplines, including heat transfer, material science, physics, chemical engineering and synthetic chemistry.
