heat exchanger. Experimental work included to design heat exchanger and
manufacture eight circular fins made of copper of (66mm) outer diameter,
(22mm) inner diameter, (1mm) thickness and (111.11mm) distance between
fins.
Six double tube heat exchangers have been studies:
Double tube heat exchanger consisted of annuli tube and straight copper tube.
Double tube heat exchanger consisted of annuli tube and circular finned tube.
Double tube heat exchanger consisted of annuli tube and circular finned tube with
three circular perforations at (120) angle and diameter (10mm) and (14mm).
Double tube heat exchanger consisted of annuli tube and circular finned tube with
four circular perforations at (90) angle and diameter (10mm) and (14mm).
The straight copper tube is of (1m) length, (19.9mm) inner diameter and
(22.2mm) outer diameter. The inner tube is inserted inside the insulated PVC tube of
(100mm) inner diameter. Sheet and roll insulation (arm flux) have been utilized to
cover outer surface of PVC tube for reducing heat losses. Cold water at various mass
flow rates (0.015 to 0.022) kg/sec flows through annuli and hot water at Reynold's

results showed (3.12 to 3.83) enhancement ratio when using circular finned tube heat
exchanger with three perforated of diameter (14mm). Oxide Aluminum
nanoparticle powder is dispersed in distilled water with different volume
concentrations (0.4, 0.6, and 0.8) % by volume is used as nanofluid. The nanofluids
were prepared by using ultrasonic cleaner with 10 hours of continuous sonication at
720 W (sonication power). The sedimentation in nanofluids was observed after about
six hours. The experimental results showed an increase in convective heat transfer
coefficient by increasing both volume concentration and Reynold's number. Heat
transfer coefficient and thermal conductivity increase at 0.8% volume concentration
by (19.9% and 3%) respectively when using alumina-nanofluid.

1. INTRODUCTION
Nano technology is creation of functional materials, devices, and system by
controlling matter at the nano scale level, and the exploitation of their novel
properties and phenomena that emerge at that scale. Nanofluids have attracted
attention as a new generation of heat transfer fluids with superior potential for
enhancing the heat transfer performance of conventional fluids. These fluids are
obtained by a stable colloidal suspension of low volume fraction of ultrafine solid
particles in nanometric dimension dispersed in fluid, such as water, ethylene glycol or
propylene glycol in order to enhance or improve its rheological, mechanical, optical,
and thermal properties. Nanofluids consist of a base fluid and nanoparticles.

Nanoparticles are particles which are between (1 and 100) nm in diameter. Nanofluids
typically employ metal or metal oxide nanoparticles, such as copper and alumina, and
the base fluid is usually a conductive fluid, such as water, ethylene glycol and others.
Nanofluids are studied because of their heat transfer properties. They enhance the
thermal conductivity and convective properties over the properties of the base fluid
[1]. The convective heat transfer is very important for several industrial heating or
cooling equipment.
The technology of nanofluid may support the current industrial trend to
components and system miniaturization by enabling design of smaller and lighter heat
exchanger systems. Miniaturized systems may reduce the inventory of heat transfer
fluid and can result in cost savings [2].
It represents the ratio of nanoparticle to the total volume of nanofluid. It has a
very important effect on nanofluid properties as (thermal conductivity, specific heat,
density and viscosity). Thus, it plays a crucial role in nanofluid applications.
Nanofluids can be used to improve heat transfer and energy efficiency in a variety
of thermal system. Nanofluids appear to be a very interesting alternative heat transfer
fluids for many advanced thermal applications [3].
Heris et al.(2006) [4] studied experimentally nanofluids including (CuO and AL2O3)
nanoparticles in water as base fluid in different concentrations produced and laminar
flow convection heat transfer during (1m ) length circular copper tube and with
constant wall temperature boundary condition. Results indicate for using nanofluid
systems heat transfer coefficient is enhanced ith increasing nanoparticles
concentrations. The maximum enhancement is 29% and 23% for (AL2O3 /water) and
(CuO/water) respectively. In addition, an optimum concentration can be found for
each nanofluid systems in which better enhancements are available. It was concluded
that heat transfer enhancement by nanofluids depend on many factors including
increment of thermal conductivity, fluctuation and interaction of nanoparticles. The
experiment was performed by a widely range of Reynold number (650-2050) and for
(0.2-3.0 % Vol.) concentrations of (AL2O3 and CuO) nanoparticles.
Jung et al.(2006) [5] studied experimentally convective heat transfer for (water/Al 2O3
) nanofluid in a rectangular micro channel (50 x 50) m 2 of laminar fluid flow
conditions. The convected heat transfer coefficient can be increased larger than (32
%) for 1.8 vol % of nanoparticles in base fluids. Nusselt number increased with
increase Reynolds number in this region (5 < Re < 300). Depended on the results,
they suggested new correlation of convected heat transfer for nanofluids.

Diameter with respect to each micro channel ranges from 60m to 120m, and the
length of each segment is 800m.
Firas (2014), [6] performed an experimental and numerical investigation for heat
exchanger with U-longitudinal finned tube to study its performance with water and
with nanofluid. (Al2O3 andTiO2) nanoparticles with nano concentrations (0.2%, 0.4%,
0.6% and 0.8%) were used to prepare nanofluid. For experimental results with
nanofluid, the convective heat transfer coefficient was increased with increasing of
both Reynold's number and nano concentration. At (0.8%) volume concentration, the
heat transfer coefficient increase by (21%) and thermal conductivity increased by
(5%), when using (Al2O3) nanofluid. Also, the heat transfer coefficient increase by
(16%) and thermal conductivity increased by (4.4%), when using (TiO2) nanofluid.

Effect of (

) Nanofluid on Heat Transfer Characteristics For Circular Finned Tube Heat

Exchange

Asmaa, et al (2015)[7]studied experimentally the enhancements of heat transfer

coefficient and Nusselt number in a heat exchanger system by using Titanium-dioxide
(TiO2) nanoparticles with an average diameter of (10 nanometer), experimental results
show that the Nusselt number increased by (17%) as with respect to water at a
(0.0192) m/s nanofluid velocity at inlet temperature of (60) oC.

2. PREPARATION OF NANOFLUID
Two step methods have been used to prepare the nanofluid. The first step is
Preparation of nanofluid by applying nanoparticles for enhancing the convective heat
transfer performance of fluid. The nanofluid does not easily refer to a liquid solid
mixture, but some special requirements are essentially, as even "suspension, stable
suspension, durable suspension, low agglomeration of particles", and no change in
chemical properties of fluid.This process is very difficult and complex and these
nanoparticles are expensive and costly. The second step is dispersing the nanopowder
in the base fluid.

2.1. Nanoparticles and Basefluid

In the present study, the nanoparticles have been Utilized alumina Al2O3, and distilled
water is used to make Nanofluid. [8].

dangerous in treatment. Two-step method is used in preparation of nanofluid in
present work. This method requires produce nanoparticle, then the ultrasonic vibration
homogenizer device is used for mixing with the base fluid. The ultrasonic device was

5.2 Test section

The test section consists of double tube configuration, where cold water flows in
annuli side while hot water flows inside the tube. Annuli side was produced from
PVC tube of (100mm) inner diameter, (1.52m) length and (5mm) thickness. It is
insulated from outside by sheet and roll insulation (arm flux) which has (25.4mm)
thickness, (0.036
) thermal conductivity, to reduce heat losses to the minimum
level as shown in figure (1). The annuli side was ended by two caps of (120 mm) out
diameter made from PVC. These caps drilled in the center part to make a hole of
(22mm) diameter. This hole allows to enter the copper tube through it. To prevent the
water leakage from end of the annuli side silicone is used on both annuli side caps.
The inner tube side is made of copper with or without circular copper fins. The
smooth copper tube has (1.85m) long, (19.9mm) inner diameter and (22.2mm) outer
diameter. Circular fins are manufactured from copper. Eight fins are fixed perfectly
on the external surface of tube having (22mm) inner diameter, (66mm) outer
diameter, (1mm) thickness and (111.1mm) distance between each two fins as shown
in figure (2). Also manufactured fins with three perforations at an angle 120 degree
and fins with four perforations at an angle 90 degree of (10mm) and (14mm) diameter
as shown in figure (3).All these parts dimensions test rig appear in the schematic
