Water based nanofluids of CNTs doped with Fe2O3 nanoparticles at different weight loading and concentration are considered.
The thermal performance of shell and tube heat exchanger is investigated.
The effects of volume concentration and Reynolds number on physical and thermal properties, enhancement of heat transfer, and pressure drop of nanofluids are evaluated.
0.1 wt.% concentration of CNTs doped with 10 wt.% of Fe2O3 nanoparticles exhibits the best heat transfer performance.
The nanofluids at different flow regimes have minor effects on the pressure drop.
