摘要：Over the past couple of years the use of Nanofluids to enhance the heat transfer has been reported byseveral researchers. This work deals with experimental investigation of the forced convection heat transfer of Shell andTube heat exchangers using water based Nanofluid as a coolant. Steady, forced convection, turbulent flow conditionswere maintained in this experiment. Flow rate was varied and heat flux was kept constant.The various heat transferparameters considered for study are Nusselt number, heat transfer coefficient, heat transfer rate and ReynoldsNumber.From the obtained results, it can be concluded that heat transfer enhancement does occur in heat exchangersusing Nanofluids. For all the investigated flow rates, it was observed that with increase in Reynolds number, both theNusselt number and pressure drop increases which further lead to increase in the pumping power.
