Abstract: Nano fluid is considered to be a class of high efficient heat transfer fluid created by dispersing some special solid nanoparticles (normally less than 100 nm) in traditional heat transfer fluid. The present experiment was conducted aiming at investigating the forced heat transfer characteristics of aqueous copper (Cu) nanofluid at varying concentration of Cu nano-particles in different flow regimes (300<Re≤16 000). The forced convective heat transfer enhancement is available both in the laminar and turbulent flow with increasing the concentration. Especially, the enhancement rate increases dramatically in laminar flow regime, for instance, the heat transfer coefficient of Cu/water nanofluid increases by two times at around Re=2 000 compared with that of base fluid water, and averagely increases by 62% at 1% volume fraction. However, the heat transfer coefficient of Cu/water decreases sharply in the transition flow regime. Furthermore, it has the trend that the heat transfer coefficient displays worse with increasing the concentration.
