水基纳米流体大容积沸腾换热特性分析

以提高换热设备工质换热效率为背景,通过在系统压力0.1MPa下对去离子水、水基氧化铝、水基氧化铜纳米流体进行池沸腾换热实验,从过热度、沸腾换热系数、强化率等方面综合分析不同热流密度的纯水及浓度分别为0.001%、0.01%、0.1%、1%、2%的两种纳米流体的沸腾换热效果,并从活性气泡临界直径、汽化核心、工件内外表面面积比值等方面进行机制分析。结果表明,水基氧化铝纳米流体的换热特性要好于水基氧化铜纳米流体。当纳米颗粒浓度小于1%时,导热系数提高,从而使热流密度增加;表面张力降低,从而使活性气泡临界直径减小;沸腾换热效率将随着颗粒浓度的上升而提高。同时,颗粒浓度过大,由于颗粒沉积降低了汽化核心的分布密度,纳米颗粒对沸腾换热的改善作用将会被弱化。

A Numerical Investigation of Nanocomposite of Copper and Titanium Dioxide in Water Based Fluid Influenced by Instigated Magnetic Region

Presence of external electrical field plays a vital role in heat transfer and fluid flow phenomena. Keeping this in view present article is a numerical investigation of stagnation point flow of water based nanoparticles suspended fluid under the influence of induced magnetic field. A detailed comparative analysis has been performed by considering Copper and Titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Utilization of similarity analysis leads to a simplified system of coupled nonlinear differential equations, which has been tackled numerically by means of shooting technique followed by Runge-Kutta of order 5. The solutions are computed correct up to 6 decimal places. Influence of pertinent parameters is examined for fluid flow, induced magnetic field, and temperature profile. One of the key findings includes that magnetic parameter plays a vital role in directing fluid flow and lowering temperature profile. Moreover, it is concluded that Cu-water based nanofluid high thermal conductivity contributes in enhancing heat transfer efficiently.
