Özet

In this study, the efficacy of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanofluids at a 2% concentration for enhancing heat transfer in shell and tube heat exchangers is evaluated. By employing SOLIDWORKS for the innovative design and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for simulation, an improvement in heat transfer efficiency over traditional hot water systems is identified. Emphasizing the unique properties of Al2O3 nanofluids in augmenting heat transfer rates, the role of advanced CAD and simulation tools in engineering practices is highlighted. Results confirm nanofluids' benefits in improving thermal management systems, indicating their potential to decrease energy consumption and operational costs. Furthermore, the exploration of a novel design for heat exchangers, inspired by but distinct from existing market standards, suggests new avenues for the application of nanofluids in various industrial settings, marking a step towards more energy-efficient technologies.
