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

Laminar nanofluid flow in microheat-sinks
Junemo Koo,Clement Kleinstreuer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, steady laminar liquid nanofluid flow in micro-channels is simulated and analyzed, and the impact of nanoparticle concentrations in these two mixture flows on the microchannel pressure gradients, temperature profiles and Nusselt numbers are computed, in light of aspect ratio, viscous dissipation and enhanced temperature effects.

Enhancement of thermal conductivity with carbon nanotube for nanofluids
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal conductivities of CNT-ethylene glycol and synthetic engine oil suspensions were investigated using a modified transient hot wire method, and the results showed that CNT nanofluids have noticeably higher thermal conductivity than the base fluid without CNT.
