A Review on Synthesis and Characterization of Hybrid Nanofluids for Heat Exchangers
摘要
This paper discusses in-depth the production and characterization of hybrid nanofluids to improve the working efficiency of heat exchangers that are crucial for industry, including thermal power, chemical processing, and oil and gas. The discovery shows that hybrid nanofluids prepared by blending nanomaterials with base fluids display enhanced thermal conductivity and heat transfer rates when compared to traditional liquids and single-phase nanofluids. Experiments have indicated thermal performance up to an improvement of 20–60% over base fluids and 10–30% over single-phase nanofluids transpires through these novel fluids, depending on the nanoparticle type and concentration. This study confirms the significance of addressing issues in relation to nanoparticle agglomeration and the requisite stabilization toward retaining the enhanced thermal properties. Importantly, this work could transform heat exchanger design toward energy-efficient technologies to ultimately mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and lower energy consumption in the industrial processing sector. The improvement in the efficiency of hybrid nanofluids supports their evolving roles in developing thermal management technologies.
