Abstract
- Exergy efficiency, Nusselt number, friction factor, pressure drop, thermal and frictional entropy generation of water-based nanodiamond + Fe3O4 nanofluid flow in a tube and with various coiled wire inserts have been studied experimentally under turbulent and constant heat flux boundary conditions. The experiments were conducted in the Reynolds number range from 2000 to 22,000, particle concentrations of 0.05%, 0.1% and 0.2% and coiled wire inserts of different p / d values of 3.67, 2.34 and 1.00, respectively. Results indicate that at 0.2% vol. and Reynolds number of 20,095, without coiled wire inserts, the heat transfer coefficient, Nusselt number, friction factor, pressure drop and pumping power are enhanced to 44.36%, 29.55%, 11.1%, 29.58% and 39.49% over the base fluid data. Similarly, at 0.2% vol. and Reynolds number of 20,095, with coiled wire inserts of p / d = 1, the heat transfer coefficient, Nusselt number, friction factor, pressure drop and pumping power are further enhanced to 107.19%, 66.36%, 38.84, 64.44% and 76.54% over the base fluid data without inserts. The thermal entropy generation is decreased to 30.80% and it is further decreased to 46.34% at 0.2% vol. and Reynolds number of 20,095 with coiled wire inserts of p / d = 1. The exergy efficiency of water is 18.95%, and it is increased to 24.06% for 0.2% vol. and it is further increased to 51.85% for 0.2% vol. and Reynolds number of 20,095 with coiled wire inserts of p / d = 1. The study indicates that the hybrid nanofluids with coiled wire inserts are guaranteed choice for augmenting the exergy efficiency of flow through tube. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
