TL;DR: A review of previous works featuring experimental and numerical investigations seems to be suggesting, to the level of establishing, that nanofluids have great potential in increasing the overall performance of the plate heat exchangers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of different chevron angles in PHE on heat transfer rate ratio, heat transfer coefficient ratio, overall heat transfer ratio, pumping power ratio, performance index ratio, exergy loss, qualitative response of system by exergetic efficiency, total entropy generation and contribution of irreversible heat transfer arises due to frictional losses by Bejan number.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of different spacings (ΔX = 2.5mm, 5.0mm, 7.5 mm, and 10.0 mm) in plate heat exchanger (PHE) on the combination of its combined energetic and exergetic performance by using various nanofluids, i.e., TiO 2, Al 2 O 3, ZnO, CeO 2, hybrid (Cu+Al 2 O3 ), graphene nanoplate (GNP) and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT).

TL;DR: In this article, the temperature dependencies of the thermophysical properties of different hybrid nanofluids have been investigated in the present work and an optimized ANN model was developed for prediction and regression analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors emphasized on characterization, heat transfer and exergetic performance of nanofluid in plate heat exchanger (PHE) experimentally, and the experimental results revealed the best heat transfer performance was shown by ZnO/water nanoflide.
