Popis: In this work, heat transfer of a fluid containing nanoparticles of aluminum oxide with the water volume fraction (0.1–0.3) percent has been reported. Heat transfer of the fluid containing nano water aluminum oxide with a diameter of about 20 nm in a horizontal double pipe counter flow heat exchanger under turbulent flow conditions was studied. The results showed that the heat transfer of nanofluid in comparison with the heat transfer of fluid is slightly higher than 12 percent.
