Abstract

The presents the behaviour of nanofluid to improve the thermal performance of a circular heat pipe. The heat pipe is made of straight copper tube using hybrid nanofluid (Al2O3 + CuO) with water base as working fluids. An experimental setup is designed and constructed to study thermal performance of the heat pipe under different operating conditions. Total thermal performance of heat pipe for pure water and water based nanofluid is predicted. This study presents a discussion on the effects of the charged volume ratio of the working fluids. The effect of filling volume ratio, volume fraction of nano particles in the base fluid on the thermal resistance is investigated. Thermal performance of heat pipe increases with increasing (Al2O3 + CuO) -water based nanofluid compared to that of pure water.

Keywords
