Abstract
Nanofluids include suspension of metallic or nonmetallic nanopowders in base liquid and can be employed to increase heat transfer rate in various applications. In this work laminar flow forced convection heat transfer of nanofluid inside a circular tube with constant wall temperature was investigated experimentally. The Nusselt numbers of nanofluids were obtained for different nanoparticle concentrations as well as various Peclet and Reynolds numbers. Results emphasize the enhancement of heat transfer, which is due to the nanoparticles present in the fluid. Heat transfer coefficient enhances by increasing the concentration of nanoparticles in nanofluid.
