ملخص المقالة :

The potential of nanofluids for the improvement of heat transfer coefficient in various heat exchangeequipment has been considered and studied as a major application during recent decades. In this research,heat transfer coefficient of ZnO, TiO2 and ZnO/TiO2 nanofluids in a shell and tube heat exchanger has beenstudied experimentally. ZnO nanoparticle was synthesized through precipitation technique. Sol-gel andmechanical techniques were employed to synthesize the ZnO/TiO2 nano-composite. Particle size analysis(PSA), XRD, FTIR and FE-SEM techniques were used to characterize ZnO/TiO2 nano-composite. Based onthe results, the nanofluid heat transfer coefficient was enhanced by increasing the nanofluid concentrationand temperature. The heat transfer coefficient of TiO2 was higher than that of ZnO nanofluid and the heattransfer coefficients of nano-composites were higher than that of ZnO and TiO2 nanofluids and the basefluid. Also, the heat transfer coefficient and the overall heat transfer coefficient were increased 3.79 to9.09 times and 4.27 to 9.14, respectively by increasing the nano-composite content.
