Arguably the most influential nineteenth-century scientist for twentieth-century physics, James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) demonstrated that electricity, magnetism and light are all manifestations of the same phenomenon: the electromagnetic field. A fellow of Trinity College Cambridge, Maxwell became, in 1871, the first Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cambridge. His famous equations - a set of four partial differential equations that relate the electric and magnetic fields to their sources, charge density and current density - first appeared in fully developed form in his 1873 Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism. This two-volume textbook brought together all the experimental and theoretical advances in the field of electricity and magnetism known at the time, and provided a methodical and graduated introduction to electromagnetic theory. Volume 2 covers magnetism and electromagnetism, including the electromagnetic theory of light, the theory of magnetic action on light, and the electric theory of magnetism.read more

Finite elements in computational electromagnetism
TL;DR: In this paper, finite element Galerkin schemes for a number of linear model problems in electromagnetism were discussed, and the finite element schemes were introduced as discrete differential forms, matching the coordinate-independent statement of Maxwell's equations in the calculus of differential forms.

TL;DR: The International Nanofluid Property Benchmark Exercise (INPBE) as discussed by the authors 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.

A review on hybrid nanofluids: Recent research, development and applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes recent researches on synthesis, thermophysical properties, heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics, possible applications and challenges of hybrid nanofluids, and showed that proper hybridization may make the hybrid nanoparticles very promising for heat transfer enhancement, however, lot of research works are still needed in the fields of preparation and stability, characterization and applications to overcome the challenges.

Experimental investigation of oxide nanofluids laminar flow convective heat transfer
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between experimental results obtained for nanofluid to homogeneous model in low concentration are close to each other but by increasing the volume fraction, higher heat transfer enhancement for Al 2 O 3 ǫ/ǫ water can be observed.
