The Shell and Tube heat exchangers are most widely used heat exchangers in various industries such as chemical processing, power generation, oil refining, refrigeration and air conditioning. The Cooling system’s thermal performance is mainly based on the Performance of the heat exchanger and working fluid. One method of enhancement of heat transfer rate in different types of heat exchangers is possible with the use of nano fluids instead of plain fluids. The present analysis is carried out for analyzing the nano fluids as heat transfer fluid for shell and tube heat exchanger. The Al2O3 and CuO are the nanoparticles that are introduced with a mixture of water and Ethylene Glycol as a base fluid. Al2O3 and CuO nanoparticles of concentration 0.05%, 0.15% and 0.3% were added to the base fluid. The analysis has been carried out using Ansys as the tool having CFD method. The enhancement of overall heat transfer coefficient, heat transfer rate and temperature drop are the basic parameters are considered for the assessment of results. The maximum value of Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient and Heat Transfer rate of the base fluid were obtained 11.01 kw/m2 °C and 22.81 kw, 0.3% Al2O3 nanofluid were obtained 26.51 kw/m2 °C and 34.43 kw and 0.3% CuO nanofluid were obtained 16.2 kw/m2 °C and 27 kw respectively. The results show that the overall heat transfer coefficient and Heat Transfer rate of Al2O3 and CuO nanofluids is higher than that of the base fluid at the same mass flow rate.
