Modeling transient absorption and thermal conductivity in a simple nanofluid [PDF]
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to simulate the thermal properties of a model fluid containing nanoparticles (nanofluid). By modelling transient absorption experiments, we show that they provide a reliable determination of interfacial resistance between the particle and the fluid.

Buoyancy-induced convection of water-based nanofluids in differentially-heated horizontal Semi-Annuli [PDF]
A two-phase model based on the double-diffusive approach is used to perform a numerical study on natural convection of water-based nanofluids in differentially- heated horizontal semi-annuli, assuming that Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis are the ...

Prediction of Thermo-Physical Properties of TiO2-Al2O3/Water Nanoparticles by Using Artificial Neural Network [PDF]
In this paper, an artificial neural network is implemented for the sake of predicting the thermal conductivity ratio of TiO2-Al2O3/water nanofluid. TiO2-Al2O3/water in the role of an innovative type of nanofluid was synthesized by the sol–gel method. The

Spreading-splashing transition of nanofluid droplets on a smooth flat surface [PDF]
Even a small fraction of nanoparticles in fluids affects the splashing behavior of a droplet upon impact on a smooth surface. Nanofluid drop impact onto a smooth sapphire substrate is experimentally investigated over wide ranges of Reynolds ($10^2<\mathrm{Re}<10^4$) and Weber ($50<\mathrm{We}<500$) numbers for three nanofluid mass concentrations (0.01%,

Natural convection in square enclosures differentially heated at sides using alumina-water nanofluids with temperature-dependent physical properties [PDF]
Laminar natural convection of Al2O3 + H2O nanofluids inside square cavities differentially heated at sides is studied numerically. A computational code based on the SIMPLE-C algorithm is used for the solution of the system of the mass, momentum and ...
