Analysis of CuO Nanofluids Flow through the Counter Flow Heat Exchanger by CFD

in this work shows the procedure for preparing Nanofluids which is a suspension consisting of Copper oxide (CuO) and Ethylene Glycol added to Distill water with different ratios as a base fluid. There are eight samples are prepared to conduct the experiments (80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 30:70, 25:75, 15:85) and measured the Thermo physical properties of the Nanofluids such as viscosity, Density, thermal conductivity and PH Value of the nanofluids. Further, we illustrate the SEM images for nanoparticle dispersion the experiment was conducted on the situation of nanofluids flow through the heat exchanger and determined the effectiveness of the heat exchanger. The practical design of heat exchanging system designed in ANSYS and determined the various values of the heat exchanger performance. We made the comparison between the experimental value and determined value from the Ansys. Finally concluded as which samples were conducted a more heat transfer and it is suitable for heat transfer application.
