Abstract
Heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids are improved by increasing the mass flow and inlet temperature. This article is intended to study the rate of transfer heat of nanofluids by counter flow conditions using forced convection mode. A two-step method was used to finalise the alumina nanoparticles. In this experimental analysis as the size of the particle decreases, the rate of heat transfer increases. In this experimental analysis, nanoparticles with a diameter size of 30 nm were used. Distilled water was used as the base fluid to prepare the nanofluids of alumina with different volume concentrations (0.14, 0.28, 0.4 and 0.52%). The experimental results show better thermophysical properties of nanofluid, and also Reynolds number and Prandtl number have been calculated.
