Abstract


Nanofluids, due to their superior thermal and rheological properties, can be used to increase the shell and tube heat exchanger performance and efficiency. Both parallel and counter flows of acting will be are studied using rotating the inside tube at speed range from 0 to 1500 rpm. The results show a significant improvement in the heat transfer rate due to the swirl effect created by the the turbulence acting as a catalyst. The heat transfer coefficient is enhanced by using the nanoparticles by up to 25% when compared to the base fluid.  

Keywords
