Abstract
Heat exchangers (HEs) are the devices that are used to transfer heat from one medium to another. Heat is not mixed together in this type of heat exchanger. A number of research studies have been conducted in order to improve heat transfer through HEs. Nanofluids are used as a coolant in HEs to improve their effectiveness. The nanofluids have been used in HEs recently in various HEs such as pipe-in-pipe heat exchangers, shell and tube HEs, plate heat exchangers and many other heat exchangers. However, several novel developments in the use of HEs and nano-fluids have been made.
