Heat Transfer and Friction Factor of Water Based TiO2 and SiO2 Nanofluids Under Turbulent Flow In a Tube

The heat transfer coefficient and friction factor of TiO2 and SiO2 water based nanofluids flowing in a circular tube under turbulent flow are investigated experimentally under constant heat flux boundary condition. TiO2 and SiO2 nanofluids with an average particle size of 50 nm and 22 nm respectivel...
