Abstract

AbstractNanofluids has significant effect on heat transfer enhancement for comparatively high Reynolds number than to low Reynolds number flow. Whereas, vibration effects reduces in significance as Reynolds number increases. This study combined these two method of heat transfer enhancement i.e. use of nanofluid flow through pipe under vibration. A grid independent CFD model used for the study was validated in various aspects such as it was validated for variation of local Nusselt number, isothermal vibrational flow and non-isoviscous viscosity model so that one could believe the results obtained from the model. A valid CFD simulations has been done to investigate the effect on heat transfer to fluid flowing from pipe subjected to a constant heat flux. Al2O3-water based nanofluid was used as Newtonian fluid as it exhibits Newtonian behavior at low concentration (∅ < 2%). In order to make it non-Newtonian in nature, mixture of Al2O3 nanoparticles and 0.5 wt% aqueous CMC solution was used. Temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity relations were considered for nanofluid so that it can be effectively model as single phase fluid including factors like liquid layering, Brownian motion etc. Simulations were done for different Reynolds number, volume fraction and solid particle diameter and results were presented in the form of ratio of heat transfer coefficient of vibration flow to steady-state flow. At low Reynolds number flow, a significant increment was observed for non-Newtonian nanofluid and its effect increases for volume fraction and solid particle than that of Newtonian nanofluid for the range of simulation parameters used.
