Abstract
Al2O3-Water nanofluids are used in small pipes because they have a number of benefits, such as greatly higher heat transfer rates due to increased thermal conductivity, which makes them extremely attractive for applications needing effective thermal management. More compact and lightweight heat exchanger designs are made possible by these nanofluids, which are particularly advantageous for the aerospace and automobile sectors. A thorough study using ANSYS Fluent is performed while considering various input parameters, such as velocity and temperature. The pipe's entrance velocity was 3.78×10-1 m/s at 290 K starting temperature, whereas the exit temperature stabilized at 2.98×102 K. The velocity at the inlet side of the pipe and temperature at the outlet side of the pipe has an inverse relation with each other. To examine heat flow enhancement and improved thermal conductivity within the pipe, a two-phase method was used that included nanofluid-phases phi-0 and phi-4. This research contrasts with usual studies that only use single-phase simulations because of this novel approach. The results highlight the effectiveness of the technique in comparison to one-phase simulations utilized in other research by demonstrating a significant increase in heat flow and thermal conductivity.
