Abstract


The paper reveals the experimental measurements of heat transfer performance of multi loops Oscillating Heat Pipe (MLOHP). Aqueous alumina (Al2O3) and a combination of Al2O3 with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) particles were charged individually into OHP. Experimental results showed that thermal characteristics are significantly inter-related with pressure distribution and strongly depend upon the number of pressure fluctuations inside oscillating heat pipe (OHP) per unit time. Also the Alumina nanofluid was used in general heat exchanger with shell and tube type with various temperature range.
