Use of Water-TiO2 Nanofluid in Horizontal Slinky Collector of Heat Pump
The hydrodynamics of water-TiO2 nanofluid in the Ø32×3 mm horizontal Slinky collector of the heat pump, as well as the heat transfer from river water to the nanofluid have been studied in the paper. Water-TiO2 nanofluid provides attractive opportunities of the application in the energy industry due to its enhanced thermal properties. The thermal and hydrodynamic characteristics of the heat transfer fluid with spherical TiO2 nanoparticles in the temperature range from 2 to 12.5 °C have been analysed.
