Abstract
The heat transfer characteristics of nanofluid produced by mixing nano titania with transformer oil, facilitated by addition of surfactants are analyzed. A 2D model is used to analyze the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of nano fluid for understanding the formation of hot spots in the chamber filled with nanofluid. Governing equations for conservation of mass, momentum and energy for capturing the above characteristics are described. The temperature along the vertical mid line from the hot spot are measured experimentally and compared with simulation results. Temperature distribution obtained for nanofluid and transformer oil under both steady and transient state has revealed high rate of heat dissipation in nanofluid. Streamlines have shown the presence of press board affects flow in the bulk of the cavity. Nusselt number estimated across the edges of the hot spot has shown higher convective heat transfer in nanofluid.
