Abstract

Exergy variations for forced convection of nanofluid through a pipe equipped with twisted tape turbulators have been simulated via Finite volume method. Roles of height ratio, pitch ratio and Reynolds number on variation of nanofluid hydrothermal treatment, second law efficiency and exergy loss were presented.
