The heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics for the flow of water, which is base fluid, and nanoencapsulated n-nonadecane based nanofluids in a double pipe heat exchanger were investigated. The results showed that no improvement in overall heat transfer coefficient was observed for the nanofluids containing 0.42% and 0.84% solid volume ratios with reference to the base fluid, while an improvement of about 10% was obtained for the nanofluids containing 1.68% solid volume ratio. It was found that the friction factors for the nanofluids exhibited a slight increase reference to the base fluid. A performance analysis based on constant pumping power was also performed.
