Thermal Performance of Hybrid-Inspired Coolant for Radiator Application
Due to the increasing demand in industrial application, nanofluids have attracted the considerable attention of researchers in recent decades. The addition of nanocellulose (CNC) with water (W) and ethylene glycol (EG) to a coolant for a radiator ...

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%,

“Perversity, Futility, Jeopardy”: An Economic Analysis of the Attack on Gun Control [PDF]
A relatively new way for utilizing the thermal performance of heat pipes is to use nanofluids as working fluids in the heat pipes. Heat pipes are effective heat transfer devices in which the nanofluid operates in the two phases, evaporation and ...

Nanofluids obtained from halloysite and de-ionized water (DI) were prepared by using surfactants and changing pH for heat-transfer applications. The halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) nanofluids were studied for several volume fractions (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 vol%)

Molecular dynamic simulation on the density of titanium dioxide and silver water-based nanofluids [PDF]
This study utilizes molecular dynamics simulations to scrutinize the influence of type and volume fraction of nanoparticle on the density of nanofluids, i.e. silver (as a hydrophilic case) and titanium dioxide (as a hydrophobic case) water-based nanofluids.

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 ...

Statistical Analysis of Thermal Conductivity Experimentally Measured in Water-Based Nanofluids [PDF]
Nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles in a base heat-transfer liquid. They have been widely investigated to boost heat transfer since they were proposed in the 1990's. We present a statistical correlation analysis of experimentally measured thermal conductivity of water-based nanofluids available in the literature.
