Abstract

Analyzing the heat transfer process in a concentric tube counterflow exchanger, whichuseswater as a working fluid to which copper oxide nanoparticles were added with the objectiveof increasing its thermophysical properties and increasing efficiency in the energytransferprocess. To carry out this project, first the art regarding counterflow heat exchangers is determined, aswell as their types and most common industrial applications. In addition, topics relatedtonanofluids are investigated, such as the methods for obtaining the different types that exist. Aspecial emphasis is placed on copper oxide nanoparticles, since these are used to carryout thework. Subsequently, a geometry of a counterflow concentric tube heat exchanger is establishedandall its characteristics and variables that intervene in the heat transfer process are determined, after making a comparison of how these vary when the fluid is replaced. workbythenanofluid H2 O CuO. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are presented in function on the stated objectives. One of most relevant conclusions is that thermophysical properties about H2 O CuO nanofluid varies on average by 15%.
