Heat Transfer Enhancement Using Nanofluids for Cooling of Electronic Component

Abstract

This study investigates the applications of nano fluids with an emphasis on their unique thermal properties and their potential to enhance the heat transfer efficiency of systems. Thermal conductivity is an essential factor that effects a fluid's capacity to transport heat. In addition, this research examines the size, shape, and concentration of nanoparticles in order to determine how efficiently nanofluids transport heat. This study investigates the potential use of nano fluids to enhance heat transfer during the cooling of electronic equipment. The findings of this research indicate that MWCNT/water nanofluids have a substantially greater thermal conductivity than Al2O3/water nanofluids, leading to the conclusion that MWCNT/water Nanofluids have a greater heat transfer coefficient. At volume concentrations of 0.1% and 0.7%, the heat transfer coefficients of Al2O3/water nanofluid as well as MWCNT/water nanofluid, respectively, were equivalent. MWCNT/water Nanofluids have a significantly higher heat transmission coefficient than Al2O3/water Nanofluids. Due to the greater thermal conductance of MWCNT nanoparticles compared to Al2O3 nanoparticles, the heat transfer coefficients of MWCNT/water Nano fluids at 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5%, and 0.7% vol. concentrations were found to be greater in all three test sections. Furthermore, as the diameter of the test section decreases, the heat transfer coefficients increase.
