Abstract

This work investigates a numerical study for titanium dioxide (TiO2) and carbon nanotube (CNT) nanofluid heat transfer performance. Nanofluid flowed in an inner concentric tube with circular, rectangular, and triangular channels were simulated using a mixture model in the Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase approach. The effect of Reynold number on fluid flow and heat transfer characteristic were observed. The results showed an increasing Nusselt number and a decreasing friction factor with an increment in Reynold number. Furthermore, the similar hydraulic diameter in circular, rectangular, and triangular tubes produced different mass flow rates of nanofluid flow inside the inner tube. The different mass flow rates affected their temperature distribution and Nusselt number. These results contribute to our understanding of how nanofluids enhance the heat transfer performance in various tube profiles.
