Next-Gen Heat Exchangers with Bio-Nanofluids

Heat exchangers play a crucial role in various industries, ranging from automotive to power generation, by facilitating efficient heat transfer between fluids. The need for enhancing thermal conductivity in heat exchangers has led to the exploration of innovative solutions. This book delves into the realm of utilizing bio-fluid nanofluids to achieve this objective.The aim of this research work is to explore the potential of bio-fluid nanofluids in enhancing the thermal conductivity of heat exchangers. By combining the advantages of nanoparticles, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with bio-fluids derived from natural sources, we aim to create a novel and sustainable approach to heat transfer enhancement.The book begins with an introduction to the different types of heat exchangers and their applications. It highlights the significance of bio-coolants as a major boon for heat exchangers and sets the stage for the research objectives. A comprehensive review of literature on heat exchangers, design and analysis, water as a coolant, and computational fluid dynamics analysis provides a solid foundation for the subsequent chapters.
