Abstract:
In the present study, the heat transfer enhancement using aluminium oxide
with 1% volume fraction nanofluids in laminar pipe flow for different
cross-sections with constant heat flux(H1 boundary condition) has been studied by
computational fluid dynamic modeling of the fluid flow adopting the single
phase approach. After investigating different cross sections FLAT cross section
was selected as it showed better heat transfer performance and again this FLAT
section is further flattened to observe it’s effect on Nusselt number and to find out
the optimum geometry for better heat transfer performance.
