Nanofluids are potential coolants which can afford excellent thermal performance in heat exchangers. This study examined the effects of water and CuO/water nanofluids (as coolants) on heat transfer coefficient heat transfer rate frictional loss pressure drop pumping power and exergy destruction in the corrugated plate heat exchanger. The heat transfer coefficient of CuO/water nanofluids increased about 18.50 to 27.20%with the enhancement of nanoparticles volume concentration from 0.50 to 1.50% compared to water. Moreover improvement in heat transfer rate was observed for nanofluids. On the other hand exergy loss was reduced by 24% employing nanofluids as a heat transfermediumwith comparing to conventional fluid. Besides 34% higher exergetic heat transfer effectiveness was found for 1.5 vol.% of nanoparticles. It has a small penalty in the pumping power. Hence the plate heat exchanger performance can be improved by adapting the working fluid with CuO/water nanofluids. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
