Abstract

Numerous factors related to the utilization of Nanofluid developments remain unresolved. Generally, nanofluids are commonly utilized to enhance heat transfer rates. There are still limitations and drawbacks in the development of nanofluids. The use of nanofluids increases fluid flow resistance, resulting in higher losses and reduced flow rates. The purpose of this case study is to investigate loss coefficient of Al2O3 nanofluid through an orifice at different flow rates.
The single-phase numerical method using ANSYS 2019 R3 was employed to predict flow characteristics through the orifice plate. Mesh independency is verified. Outcomes of the CFD simulations in terms of profiles of velocity and pressure for water and Al2O3 nanofluid is discussed in detail. The results of water are first validated with other published paper.
