Heat transfer analysis of high heat flux moving surface with nanofluids and impinging jets

In this study, the common effect of heat transfer from a high heat flux moving copper plate with the impinging fluid jet technique of nanofluids was examined numerically. In the first phase of the study, heat transfer analysis of as the basic fluid Cu-H2O nanofluids in different Reynolds numbers and different particle diameters was performed on a stationary plate to confirm the current studies in the literature. The model results were compared and verified with existing experimental studies in the literature. In the second phase, heat transfer analysis was performed at different particle diameters, different plate velocity, and different volume ratios using Al2O3-H2O nanofluid on both a moving and stationary plate. Furthermore, the effect of heat transfer was examined in the case of using different types of nanofluids in the moving copper plate. In the numerical study, the low Re numbered k-ε turbulence model of PHOENICS CFD program was used. This model is preferred because it is widely used in the modelling of confined impinging jets. According to the results of the study, if the number of Reynolds is increased to Re=12000-18000, the average number of Nusselts is increased by 28%, and when the nanoparticle diameter is reduced from Dp=40nm to 10nm, the average number of Nusselts increases by 9.1%, when the plate velocity was increased in the range of Vplate=0-6 m/s, the number of average Nusselts increased by 88.9%, the volumetric ratio is increased by 2.5% in the range of φ=0.5-2.0, and in case of comparing different nanofluids were compared, the best heat transfer performance was determined by Cu-H2O nanofluid.
