| description | With the advancement of nanotechnology, thermal science and thermal engineering, it
is a high interest to develop the new generation of heat transfer fluids called nanofluid.
Nanofluid as a new kind engineering material consisting of nanometer-sized additives and
base fluids, offered compactness and high surface to volume ratio compared with
conventional flow system. It has attracted great attention of researcher for its superior thermal
properties and many potential applications. The superior thermal properties of nanofluids is
the advantage to improve the thermal properties of base fluids used in many diverse
industries including chemical engineering, electronics, transportation, microelectronics,
aerospace and manufacturing.
Second law of thermodynamic states that processes occur in a certain direction.
During the energy convert from one form to another form, there is often degradation of the
supplied energy into a less useful form. Entropy is refer to the less useful form of energy. The
entropy generation or another term is irreversibility caused by factors friction, mixing of two
fluids, unrestrained expansion, heat transfer across a finite temperature difference, electric
resistance, inelastic deformation of solids and chemical reaction.
Overview of the thesis is the analysis of entropy generation ratio and entropy
generated by nanofluids caused by heat transfer and fluid friction flow in constant diameter of
circular tube channel. The analysis conducted under the influences of volume fraction
nanoparticles inside the nanofluids Cu-H2O, Al2O3-H2O, Cu-EG and Al2O3-EG. Also the
analysis conducted under the influences of diameter size of circular tube channel. Entropy
generation ratio decrease with increasing volume fraction nano particles in base fluids.
Entropy generation ratio is decrease due to thermo-physical properties of nanofluids such as
thermal conductivity, viscosity and density increase as volume fraction nano particles increase in base fluids. Entropy generation rate by heat transfer and fluid friction of
nanofluids decrease as the volume fraction nano particles in the base fluids increase and
decrease as the circular micro-mini channel diameter increase. Nano particles copper and
alumina both effective according to the suitability with the thermo physical properties and
size diameter of tube channels. Journal on the entropy generation due to heat transfer and
flow have the findings which supported the thesis.
However further research is required for better understanding of nanofluids. The
thermo physical properties of nanofluids can be a function of parameters such as particle
shape, particle agglomeration and particle polydispersity.In order to clarify these variables, a
number of experiments will be necessary to be conducted. Due to the limitations of
production preparation of nanofluids is a challenge to enhance the knowledge about
nanofluids. |
