Recent investigations on nanofluids indicate that the suspended nanoparticles markedly change the heat transfer characteristics of the suspension. In this study, convective heat transfer characteristics of ZnO-water nanofluids were investigated. Experiments were conducted with ZnO-water nanofluids at particle volume concentrations up to 0.1 volume %, constant subcooling of 20°C, pressure 1 bar, mass flux 400 kg/m2s and heat fluxes up to 200 kW/m2 with variable. Effect of heat flux and nanofluid concentration on heat transfer coefficient of ZnO-water nanofluids was investigated. Study reveals that heat transfer coefficient increases with ZnO-water nanofluids.
