Journal ArticleDOI

Convective Transport in Nanofluids

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered seven slip mechanisms that can produce a relative velocity between the nanoparticles and the base fluid and concluded that only Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis are important slip mechanisms in nanofluids.
Journal ArticleDOI

A benchmark study on the thermal conductivity of nanofluids

Jacopo Buongiorno, +72 more
TL;DR: The International Nanofluid Property Benchmark Exercise (INPBE) as mentioned in this paper was held in 1998, where the thermal conductivity of identical samples of colloidally stable dispersions of nanoparticles or "nanofluids" was measured by over 30 organizations worldwide, using a variety of experimental approaches, including the transient hot wire method, steady state methods, and optical methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface wettability change during pool boiling of nanofluids and its effect on critical heat flux

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the pool boiling characteristics of dilute dispersions of alumina, zirconia and silica nanoparticles in water and found that a significant enhancement in critical heat flux (CHF) can be achieved at modest nanoparticle concentrations (< 0.1% by volume).
Journal ArticleDOI

Laminar convective heat transfer and viscous pressure loss of alumina–water and zirconia–water nanofluids

TL;DR: In this paper, heat transfer and viscous pressure loss were investigated for alumina-water and zirconia-water nanofluids in a flow loop with a vertical heated tube.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental Investigation of Turbulent Convective Heat Transfer and Pressure Loss of Alumina/Water and Zirconia/Water Nanoparticle Colloids (Nanofluids) in Horizontal Tubes

TL;DR: The turbulent convective heat transfer behavior of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) and zirconia (ZrO 2 ) nanoparticle dispersions in water is investigated experimentally in a flow loop with a horizontal tube test section at various flow rates (9000
