  By Pavan Kumar Konchada, S. K. Bhatti, R. Siddhardha, K. Sanatha

  Abstract: Heat exchangers are used to transfer heat between two process streams. Improving the rate of heat transfer as well as minimizing the pressure drop is one of the promising fields to focus on. Nanofluids with better thermo-physical properties can increase the heat transfer rate. In the present study, thermo-physical properties of Al2O3 nanofluid are compared with base fluid at different temperatures and the variation of heat transfer coefficient, output temperature …
