Abstract
Laminar flow convective heat transfer of nanofluid in circular tube with constant wall temperature boundary condition was investigated numerically. Dispersion model was used to account for presence of nanoparticles. Numerical predictions are in agreement with experimental results obtained in our lab for different particles in different sizes. Results clearly show that addition of nanoparticles to base liquid produce considerable enhancement in heat transfer. Heat transfer coefficients increase by nanoparticle concentration. Decreasing nanoparticles size at a specific concentration increases heat transfer coefficients.
