... Abstract Water-based Al 2 O 3 mono nanofluid (MNF) is considered as a potential thermo-fluid for advanced cooling systems and energy storage due to its hydrophilic nature and enhanced dispersion stability. The reproducible molecular level exploration is imperative for the widespread practical...

... Abstract A numerical investigation on two-dimensional steady-state natural convection in a vertical channel asymmetrically heated at uniform heat flux with water and alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) nanofluids is performed to evaluate the effect of the aspect ratio on thermal and fluid dynamic behaviors...

... Abstract In this paper a numerical study on mixed convection in confined impinging round jets in a porous media is carried out. Pure water and Al 2 O 3 /water based nanofluids are employed as working fluids; a single-phase model approach has been applied to evaluate their properties. A two...

... Abstract The arguments in favor of using nanofluids in thermal applications have been increasing substantially for the last few decades. Nanofluids provide improved performance in heat transfer processes in comparison to their base fluids as a result of their superior thermal properties. Even...

... Nanofluids are colloidal suspensions of nano-scale particles in water, or other base fluids. In this paper, the effect of natural convection on laminar flow of nanofluids in a horizontal tube has been addressed. The obtained experimental data could not be reconciled with existing correlations...

... The systematic experiments were performed for buoyancy driven heat transfer of zinc oxide (ZnO)-water nanofluids with volume fraction 0.5%, 1%, and 2% in rectangular (50×50×75mm) cavity heated from below. In addition to determining the convective heat transfer coefficients, this study also...

... This paper describes an experimental investigation into combined forced and natural convection heat transfer for large-Prandtl-number nanofluids flow in a horizontal tube at low Reynolds number (9 < Re < 450). By the inclusion of nanoparticles, the contribution of natural convection...

... An experimental study was carried out to determine the forced convective heat transfer and hydraulic characteristics of a chevron-type two-channel industrial PHE when used with a nanofluid. The PHE is composed of two fluid passages formed by three corrugated plates, which have a herringbone...
