Numerical Investigation of the Effect of Nanoparticle Diameter and Sphericity on the Thermal Performance of Geothermal Heat Exchanger Using Nanofluid as Heat Transfer Fluid

The geothermal heat exchanger system is one of the most energy-efficient and environmentally friendly building service systems. In the present study, CuO/water nanofluid was used as the heat transfer fluid to enhance the energy efficiency of the geothermal heat exchangers. A three-dimensional numeri...
