EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON ENHANCED HEAT TRANSFER IN GASKETED PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER

Heat transfer is the predominant phenomenon in the engineering fields. It has created the huge challenge for dissipating the heat from one substance to another. Many researchers have found the different methodologies for increasing the heat transfer rate with the application of various research. In this paper we have proposed a methodology for the heat exchanger in various aspects the present work deals with experimental heat transfer data performed on gasketed plate type heat exchanger. We have proposed the changes in the base fluids of Nano fluids as the base fluids play an important role in the characteristics of Nano fluid. Based on the experimental data, we will estimate the Nusselt number, Reynolds number, Prandtl number and the outputs obtained are convective heat transfer coefficient, overall heat transfer coefficient and also our article shows the result of the overall heat transfer co-efficient between water and Nano fluids.
