Improved Heat Transfer Capabilities of Nanofluids—An Assessment Through CFD Analysis

open access: yesChemical Engineering &Technology, Volume 47, Issue 11, November 2024.
Conventional fluids used in fission‐based water‐cooled nuclear reactors have lower heat transfer coefficients and thermal conductivity, prompting researchers to explore high‐performance fluids to enhance heat transfer and prevent core meltdown during accidents. It is crucial to investigate fluids that can improve thermal hydraulic characteristics, such
