In this paper, the rate of heat transfer by forced convection in a counterflow heat exchanger, at turbulent flow conditions were investigated experimentally, using porous media and TiO2 Nanofluid to observe the behaviour of heat transfer with flow rate and volume concentration of nanoparticles t enhance heat transfer through it. 3 mm Steel balls (ε=39.12%) as a porous media completely filled to the inner pipe (core pipe). The cold and hot water are used as working fluids through the inner and outer pipes. Then using, the TiO2 nanofluid instead of cold water flowing through the porous pipe to enhance heat characteristics. The effects of operating parameters include flow rate (4 LPM, 6 LPM, and 8 LPM), Reynolds number between (3000 – 7000), and nanoparticle volume fraction (0.001, 0.002 and 0.003) on Convective heat transfer co-efficient and Nusselt number. Effective thermal conductivity is increased when the nanoparticle volume fraction is increased. The heat transfer coefficient increases with decreasing nanofluid temperature, but the heating fluid's temperature has no significant effect on the nanofluid's heat transfer coefficient. The results show that porous media and TiO2-based nanofluid's improve heat transfer at flow rate of 4 LPM by 35.4% and improve NTU and effectiveness at flow rate of 4LPM by 12.4%, and 24%, respectively, when compared to pure water without porous media. This improvement in thermophysical properties yielded high heat transfer of heat exchangers used in process industries.
