Abstract

Heat exchangers are now a necessary part of practically all contemporary industries. Heat exchangers have become especially important in an era of scarce resources and fierce market rivalry. In order to study a counterflow heat exchanger's thermal performance, this work modifies the compositions of the coolant and nanofluid that contain iron particles. To evaluate the efficacy of heat exchangers, analysis findings including heat transfer rates, total heat transfer coefficients, and heat exchanger effectiveness have been computed. This project's goal is to ascertain whether using nanofluids enhances heat exchanger performance.
