Thermohydraulic performance investigation of a heat exchanger with combined effect of ribbed insert and Therminol55/MXene+Al2O3 nanofluid : A numerical two-phase approach

MXene-based nanofluids are novel trends with improved dispersion stability and thermophysical characteristics over previously established nanofluids. In the present work, the thermohydraulic characteristics of a double pipe heat exchanger (DPHEX) with a Therminol55(TH55)/MXene + Al2O3 nanofluid and...
