Abstract

This comprehensive review critically examines recent research concerning the application of nanofluids in heat exchangers. The utilization of nanofluids, which are colloidal suspensions of nanoparticles in a base fluid, has garnered significant attention in enhancing heat transfer performance. Various studies have explored the potential benefits and challenges associated with incorporating nanofluids into heat exchanger systems. Through a systematic analysis of recent literature, this review assesses the effectiveness of nanofluids in improving heat transfer efficiency and overall performance of heat exchangers. Key parameters such as nanoparticle concentration, size, and type are thoroughly evaluated to understand their influence on heat transfer characteristics. Additionally, factors such as stability, flow behavior, and thermal conductivity enhancement are scrutinized to provide a comprehensive understanding of nanofluid behavior in heat exchangers. The review also addresses potential limitations and areas requiring further investigation to optimize the utilization of nanofluids in heat exchanger applications. By synthesizing recent findings, this review aims to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of heat exchanger technology and nanofluid applications. Ultimately, the insights provided in this review offer valuable guidance for researchers and engineers seeking to enhance heat transfer processes through the implementation of nanofluid-based heat exchangers. Nanofluids offer advantages like enhanced thermal conductivity and tailored properties, promising optimized heat exchanger designs, leading to energy efficiency and reduced costs. However, challenges remain, such as nanoparticle dispersion and cost-effectiveness, necessitating further research for refinement. Interdisciplinary collaboration is crucial for advancing nanofluid applications, fostering innovation to meet demands for sustainable heat transfer solutions.
