P. Lakshmanan, G. Mariammal, R. Thilak Kumar
Abstract :
The cooling nature of the automobile radiators in the presence of some coolants (water, ethylene glycol) has been investigated in the process of heat transfer enhancement process with Nano particles (Aluminum, copper). In order to analyze the thermal conductivity of the base fluid and nano fluid FLUENT 6.3 software is used. The nano fluids and the base fluids are analyzed and also a comparative work is done between the thermal conductivity models under the same Reynolds number, Maxwell, Hamilton and Crosser,Jeffrey, Davis, Bruggeman and Suresh models. The modeling section chosen for the project work is a uniform heated tube of radius 25.4mm and length 1000mm. The modeling work is done in ANSYS WORKBENCH 11.0 software. GAMBIT 2.2.30 and FLUENT 6.3(CFD) is used to construct and mesh models by means of its graphical user interface (GUI). Meshing is an integral part of the Computer–Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation process
