Aswin Vishva Raj; A. Monish Kumar; and Dr. K. Kumararaja, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 4, 2025, for 'analysis of the thermal performance of aluminium nanofluid using parallel and counter flow heat exchangers.'
Inventor(s) include M. Karthikeyan; P. Aswin Vishva Raj; A. Monish Kumar; and Dr. K. Kumararaja.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Utilizing aluminium oxide (AI2O3) nanofluids as the medium using in parallel and counter flow heat exchangers to analysis the thermal performance. The nanofluid is created by suspending nanometer-sized particles of aluminium oxide in a base fluid, like de-ionized water, to greatly enhance the thermophysical properties of the fluid, like thermal conductivity and overall heat transfer coefficient. This is used to enhance the heat exchanger efficiency compared to using base fluids (distilled water) as medium. The experiment helps to analysis thermal performance of aluminium oxide in the flow arrangements (parallel & counter flow) with different inlet temperature. Heat transfer efficiency is improved over the base fluid when the overall heat transfer coefficient is calculated in both flow configurations. The findings show that aluminium oxide nanofluids provide a viable solution to optimal performance, applicable for industrial applications demanding increased heat transfer performance."
