In this paper, the heat transfer performance of nanofluids is predicted by numerical analysis methods. The nanoparticles used in this study is SiO2, with concentrations of 1, 2, 3vol.%, and the base fluid is water. Reynolds number of nanofluids ranges from 10,000 to 50,000. A numerical study on the heat transfer characteristics of nanofluid was conducted using a single-phase model. The temperature of the fluid entering from the inlet of the tube is 293.15K. A constant heat flux of 31,650W/m2 was applied at the wall, and the thickness of the wall was ignored. Heat transfer coefficients, thermal conductivity and Nusselt number were selected as indicators for comparing heat transfer performance of nanofluids. As the nanofluid concentration increases, the temperature and velocity distribution by the cross section of the coil tube and straight tube increased. As the Reynolds number increases, temperature difference between inner direction and outer direction reduced in coil tube. For straight tube, the temperature difference between the wall and the center of the tube also decreased.

One simple way of increasing the heat transfer for a fin-and-tube heat exchanger is to increase the fin surface area. In this study, a series of tests were conducted on wide slit fin heat exchangers having an increased fin area (Pl/Pt = 0.87), and the results were compared with those of standard slit fin heat exchangers (Pl/Pt = 0.6). Thermal performances of wide silt-finned samples were superior to those of standard slit fin samples. For one row configuration, the j factor of the wide slit fin sample was 11% larger, and the f factor was 33 % smaller than those of the standard slit fin sample. The difference decreased as the number of tube row increased, although wide slit fin sample always yielded superior performance, The reason was attributed to the many narrower slits formed on the wide fin sample. Furthermore, the effect of fin pitch on j and f factor was not significant, and j factor decreased with the increase of the number of tube row.

The purpose of this study was investigated heat flow and heat transfer coefficient characteristics of around tube when changing the tube arrangement type and heat transfer area. When  ≒1∼4, convective heat transfer coefficient of staggered and aligned arrangement was increased. Growth rate of the heat transfer coefficient becomes smaller in case of ≒5∼8 because a change in the turbulence was very small. At the staggered arrangement, all tubes were always arranged in front of the open passage between the back of the tube. Then, the entire surface area of the tube was exposed to the main flow. Thus growth rate of heat transfer coefficient appear larger than aligned arrangement.
