Abstract :
    Generally, efficiency enhancement and energy consumption improvement was always considered in industry by scientists. There is not any exception for heat transfer in heating and cooling systems so much extensive researches are adopted into application of fluid replacements for conventional fluids such as water and ethylene glycol that would express more favorable thermal properties. On the other hand, thermal conductivity properties of some metals such as copper and aluminum compared with conventional fluids has led to adopting distribution of metal particles in liquid. This special attention has led to handle researches toward utilizing new methods and environments. Nano fluid is produced from the suspension of nanoparticles in a base fluid and porous environments are such environment that solid portion and particles are used regular or irregular in their structure. In this paper, the performance of double-pipe converters are improved in the field of heat transfer and pressure drop by investigating the parameters of porous obstacle as well as copper-water Nano-fluid.

Keywords : double pipe exchanger porous environment nano fluid thermal transfer
