Abstract

The article is about possibility of applying nanofluids in heat supply systems as a coolant. The most effective nanofluids were selected by analyzing the thermal conductivity, concentration, size, mass, and velocity of nanoparticles. It is presented the dependences of the heat transfer coefficient of a nanofluid on the Reynolds number and the heat transfer coefficient on the volume concentration. It has been calculated, that with the addition of 1% vol. of nanotubes to the coolant path that gives heat in the evaporating section of the heat pump, the heat transfer coefficient of a nanofluid increases by 100%, and with adding 2% vol. or 3% vol. by 200% and 300%, respectively.
