摘要: Abstract This work presents the results of an experimental research on heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), aqueous nano-fluids inside a plate exchanger (PHE), with consideration fouling formation nanotubes (CNTs). Influence operating parameters such as flow rate (700  Re T in  = 50–70 °C) overall coefficient was experimentally investigated. Results demonstrated that could be intensified, when concentration nano-particles increase. In addition, increase temperature inlet can cause slight coefficient. terms drop, it seen increasing mass nano-fluids, intensified for rate, enhancement significant, while concentration, small penalty registered. Although MWCNT/water presented higher friction factor comparison base fluid, they provided better thermal performance fluid. For long-operating condition, significant resistance also measured, which amplified by volumetric nano-fluids. A none-linear behavior over extended time registered decrease well.
