The experiment aimed to compare the heat transfer performance of two base fluids, Therminol-55 and Glycerol, both mixed with aluminium oxide nanoparticle. The investigation focused on assessing how the addition of aluminium oxide nanoparticles (at concentrations of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.25 % by volume) affected heat transfer in a plate heat exchanger using a mixture of Therminol-55/water and glycerol/water. Results demonstrated a significant enhancement in heat transfer efficiency for both hot and cold sides of the exchanger when using these nanoparticle-infused base fluid mixtures. Specifically, the study observed notably improved heat transfer coefficients for the Therminol-55/water mixture with a 0.25 % nanoparticle concentration, achieving 3858.77 W/m² K (23 % higher) for the hot fluid coefficient, 4194.54 W/m² K (31 % higher) for the cold fluid coefficient, and an overall coefficient of 2310 W/m² K (23 % higher) . Similarly, the Glycerol/water mixture with a 0.25 % nanoparticle concentration exhibited superior performance, reaching 4491.23 W/m² K (30 % higher) for the hot fluid coefficient, 4394.54 W/m² K (35.5 % higher)for the cold fluid coefficient, and an overall coefficient of 2508 W/m²K (27.8 % higher). These findings indicate that the Glycerol/water mixture with aluminium oxide nanoparticles outperforms the Therminol-55/water counterpart, suggesting its potential to minimize temperature differentials within the heat exchanger and enhance operational effectiveness.
