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.

Buoyancy-driven heat transfer enhancement in a two-dimensional enclosure utilizing nanofluids
TL;DR: In this article, a model is developed to analyze heat transfer performance of nanofluids inside an enclosure taking into account the solid particle dispersion, where the transport equations are solved numerically using the finite-volume approach along with the alternating direct implicit procedure.

Mechanisms of heat flow in suspensions of nano-sized particles (nanofluids)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore four possible explanations for the anomalous thermal conductivity of nanofluids: Brownian motion of the particles, molecular-level layering of the liquid at the liquid/particle interface, the nature of heat transport in the nanoparticles, and the effects of nanoparticle clustering.

Convection in Porous Media
Donald A. Nield,Adrian Bejan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an introduction to convection in porous media assumes the reader is familiar with basic fluid mechanics and heat transfer, going on to cover insulation of buildings, energy storage and recovery, geothermal reservoirs, nuclear waste disposal, chemical reactor engineering and the storage of heat-generating materials like grain and coal.

Measuring Thermal Conductivity of Fluids Containing Oxide Nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this paper, a transient hot-wire method was used to measure the thermal conductivity of a small amount of nanoparticles and the experimental results showed that these nanoparticles have substantially higher thermal conductivities than the same liquids without nanoparticles.

Principles of heat transfer in porous media
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the principles of transport in porous media and compare the available predicted results, based on theoretical treatments of various transport mechanisms, with the existing experimental results, and the theoretical treatment is based on the volume-averaging of the momentum and energy equations with the closure conditions necessary for obtaining solutions.
