Design and CFD analysis of hair pin heat exchanger at different nano-fluids

Abstract

In this thesis, different nano fluids mixed with base fluid water are analyzed for their performance in the hair pin heat exchanger. The nano fluids are Aluminium Oxide and Titanium carbide for two volume fractions 0.4, 0.5. Theoretical calculations are done determine the properties for nano fluids and those properties are used as inputs for analysis.

3D model of the hair pin heat exchanger is done in CREO parametric software. CFD analysis is done on the hair pin heat exchanger for all nano fluids and volume fraction and thermal analysis is done in Ansys for two materials Aluminum and Copper
