TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a novel modified battery module configuration employing two-layer nanoparticle enhanced phase change materials (nePCM), and compared the cooling performance of proposed battery thermal management systems (BTMS) at an ambient temperature ranging from 30°C to 40°C with external natural convection conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance and emission characteristics of a modified common rail direct injection (CRDI) diesel engine fueled by Ricinus communis biodiesel (RCME20), diesel (80%), and their blends with strontium-zinc oxide (Sr@ZnO) nanoparticle additives were evaluated.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of graphene oxide nanoparticles on performance and emissions of a CI engine fueled with dairy scum oil biodiesel was studied, and an ideal graphene-to-surfactant ratio was defined, highest absolute value UV-absorbency was seen for a mass fraction of 1:4.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the effect of ultrasonication on different properties of nanofluids are confined. But, the authors did not find that the longer ultrasonation duration was not better in all cases where best performance was obtained for an optimum duration of Ultrasonication, and they found that with an increased sonication time/energy, reduces the particle size and aids in obtaining a better dispersion leading to enhancement of stability, thermal conductivity and reducing viscosity.

TL;DR: In this paper , a review of machine learning techniques employed in the nanofluid-based renewable energy system, as well as new developments in machine learning research, is presented.
