Abstract

Nanofluid technology is one of the latest technics aims to enhance the heat exchangers working systems. The nanofluid is used because it has better thermal performance properties than common fluids like water. Tin Oxide (SnO2) and Ferric Oxide (Fe2O3) has used due to their availability and low cost for manufacturing. Flat, face step and radial corrugated microchannels have been studied at the Reynolds number range (4000-7000 Re). In this study, a hybrid nanofluid combined Ferric Oxide and Tin Oxide SnFe2O3 at (0, 5, 15%) of Tin Oxide concentration. The volume concentration of the nanoparticles was from (1-5)% suspended in ethylene glycol as base fluid due to its high thermal performance compared with water. The performance evaluation criteria (PEC) are studied and the results were validated with experimental and numerical results from previous studies. Performance evaluation criteria (PEC) studied the heat transfer in all study steps and found that the 15Sn85Fe2O3 hybrid nanofluid in ethylene glycol at 5% volume concentration in radial corrugated microchannel increased 104% compared with base fluid ethylene glycol in the flat microchannel. The performance evaluation criteria value has increased by 82% from flat microchannel to radial microchannel at 5% of volume concentration of 15Sn85Fe2O3 hybrid nanofluid
