Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Non-Newtonian Nanofluids Flowing in Shell Side of Helical Baffled Heat Exchanger Combined with Elliptic Tubes

Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Non-Newtonian Nanofluids Flowing in Shell Side of Helical Baffled Heat Exchanger Combined with Elliptic Tubes

In this paper, an aqueous solution of xanthan gum (XG) at a weight fraction as high as 0.2% was elected as the non-Newtonian base liquid, the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) dispersed into non-Newtonian XG aqueous at different weight factions of MWCNTs was prepared. Convection heat transfer o...
