Experimental studies on convective heat transfer coefficient of water/ethylene glycol-carbon nanotube nanofluids

An objective of the project is to study the enhancement of
convective heat transfer of secondary refrigerants. It is the function of different volume fraction as well as different operating temperatures. This project deals with use of CNT nano fluids with CNT as a Nano particle and EG/ water as a base fluid. In this study the theoretical study of CNT and thermo physical properties were reviewed and discussed. To investigate the convective heat transfer, an experimental set up is to be fabricated. The experimental set up is used to compare the thermo physical properties of CNT nano fluids.
