Abstract: Any technology that deals with high power but compact in sizes like electronic devices or any other apparatus that faces a shortage of heat transfer method leads to the development of a potential solution to it that is nanofluids. In the present work, investigation on the heat transfer enhancement using Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) based nanocryogenic fluid is proposed, due to the higher thermal conductivity of CNTs over the conventional nanoparticles. Nanocryogenic fluids which are still unexplored creating a scope for future to be developed as a feasible coolant. The present work focuses on the simulation of nanocryogenic fluid flow with CNT using commercially available codes such as ANSYS FLUENT. Single phase modeling approach is adapted for the present work and the heat transfer performance is obtained for various volume fraction of MWCNTs. |
