Heat transfer enhancement using nano-fluids has gained significant attention over the past few years. Nano-fluids are potentially applicable as alternative coolants for many areas such as electronics, automotive, air conditioning, power generation and nuclear applications. Heat transfer coefficient and the friction factor characteristics of SiC/water nanofluid will have been numerically investigated using ANSYS FLUENT 14.0. The Nanofluid was employed in a circular tube equipped with modified Horizontal Wing Twisted Tapes (HWTT) with different twist ratio (y = 2.0, 4.4, 6.0) were used for simulation and compared with Plain Twisted Tapes (PTT). The results of CFD investigations of heat transfer Coefficient and friction characteristics are presented for the HW-TT with Different twist ratio in comparison with the P-TT case.
