Summary
Many experimental studies have been reported in the literature, which suggest that the addition of nanoparticles enhance the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) in the laminar and turbulent flow regime as well as during pool and flow boiling. However, the effect on heat transfer is not clear as many of these studies have also shown that nanoparticles have no effect or deteriorate HTC [1]. \\nIn the present work, the effect of the use of a nanofluid consisting of a mixture of nanoplatelets of graphene (with a concentration between 0.027 to 0.10 w/w %) in a miniature plate heat exchanger (PHE) with corrugated surface has been experimentally studied. The PHE performance was compared to that of a conventional thermal fluid, water and ethylene-glycol mixture.
