چکیده انگلیسی
An experimental study has been undertaken concerning natural convection heat transfer of a nanofluid in vertical square enclosures of different sizes, whose dimensions, width Ã height Ã length (mm), are 25 Ã 25 Ã 60, 40 Ã 40 Ã 90, and 80 Ã 80 Ã 180, respectively. The nanofluid formulated in the present experiment is water dispersed with various volumetric fractions of the alumina (Al2O3) nanoparticles ranging from 0.1 vol.% to 4 vol.%. The Rayleigh number varies in the range of 6.21 Ã 105-2.56 Ã 108. A correlation analysis based on the thermophysical properties of the nanofluid formulated shows that efficacy of applying the nanofluid for natural convection heat transfer enhancement in enclosure is inferred to be generally infeasible. The experimental results for the average heat transfer rate across the three enclosures appear generally consistent with the assessment based on the changes in thermophysical properties of the nanofluid formulated, showing systematic heat transfer degradation for the nanofluids containing nanoparticles of cv â¥Â 2 vol.% over the entire range of the Rayleigh number considered. However, for the nanofluid containing much lower particle fraction of 0.1 vol.%, a heat transfer enhancement of around 18% compared with that of water was found to arise in the largest enclosure at sufficiently high Rayleigh number. Such enhancement cannot be explained simply based on the net influence due to relative changes in thermophysical properties of the nanofluid containing such low particle fraction, thus strongly suggesting other factors may come into play.
