Abstract
High-theta chevron corrugated plate heat exchanger is tested with two hybrid nanofluids prepared using Fe2O3/graphene and Fe2O3/MWCNT at various concentrations and Reynolds numbers. The hybridization resulted in stable nanofluids with enhanced thermal conductivity due to effective functionalization and synthesis. The results indicated that at an 8 L/min mass flow rate of Fe2O3/graphene, and Fe2O3/MWCNT of 0.03 % nanofluid, enhancement by 35 % and 17 % achieved compared to water. It is observed that the F2O3/graphene hybrid showed improved Nusselt numbers and overall heat transfer coefficient, enhancing PHE efficiency. Higher concentrations of nanoparticles improved heat transfer performance, but increased pressure drops and pumping power. Both FM-0.03 % and FG-0.03 % nanofluids significantly reduced entropy production, with FG-0.03 % being the most effective. However, performance decreased at higher Reynolds numbers due to viscosity and agglomeration issues. The study emphasizes the necessity for thorough testing and long-term stability assessments to optimize nanofluids for practical use, suggesting that combining metal oxides.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
