Nanofluid Geothermal Heat Exchanger Simulator

This simulator models a nanofluid-enhanced downhole geothermal heat exchanger: a pipe of circulating fluid running through hot rock, with a small volume fraction of nanoparticles suspended in it to raise the fluid's effective thermal conductivity. Pick a particle material, set the loading, particle size, flow velocity and rock temperature, and watch a real Maxwell effective-medium conductivity, a Dittus-Boelter convective correlation and an NTU heat-exchanger model compute the outlet temperature, Reynolds number and heat-extraction rate live, while an instanced-particle field shows the fluid and nanoparticles flowing through the pipe with physically scaled Brownian jitter.
