Abstract

Nanofluids play a prominent role in heat transfer applications. The thermophysical phenomenon is additionally necessary for these fluids. Many researchers’ have been measured these fluids, in terms of preparation, stability and thermal properties. Most of the industries measure mistreatment of different types of heat exchangers. In order to interchange this drawback, we tend to square measure mistreatments completely for different coolants like water with ethylene glycol, nanofluid, and hybrid nanofluid. These fluids have high thermophysical properties. The design and modeling of a double pipe heat exchanger is finished by creo 2.0 and temperature distribution, heat transfer constant is simulated by ANSYS Fluent.
