Numerical Investigated to Improve Heat Transfer in a Pipe Using Nanofluid

A numerical analysis demonstrates the significance of utilizing nanoparticles to enhance heat transfer in pipes.This research examines the addition of nanomaterials to used metal at concentrations of 1%, 5%, and 10%.Copper is utilized as the pipe material, while carbon nanotubes serve as the nanomaterial.The analysis was conducted with the ANSYS/FLUENT 16 enthalpy-porosity formulation.The results of this study indicate that the use of nanoparticles increases heat transfer, and that the more the percentage of nanomaterials, the more pronounced the improvement in heat transfer through the tube, as the inclusion of 10% nanomaterials greatly improves heat transfer.This study can be utilized to enhance heat transmission in air conditioners.
