Natural convection heat transfer using water-based nanofluid in a shell and helical coil heat exchanger

TL;DR: In this paper, water-based nanofluids were used to perform heat transfer enhancement studies in a shell and helical coil heat exchanger, and experiments were performed at different hot water flow rates through coil (Dean number) and hot water feed temperatures (40, 50 and 60°C).

Experimental investigation on rheology property of MWCNT-Al2O3/water hybrid nanofluid

TL;DR: In this article, three samples of hybrid nanofluids were prepared by mixing the functionalized MWCNT and 13 nm alumina particles in the weight ratio of 1:2 at three different quantities, the viscosity test were performed on stress-controlled Bohlin Gemini rheometer and cup and bob geometry was taken for the test having a shear rate limit of 1570 s−1.

A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism

TL;DR: 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 as discussed by the authors.

Investigation on Convective Heat Transfer and Flow Features of Nanofluids

TL;DR: In this article, an innovative new class of heat transfer fluids can be engineered by suspending metallic nanoparticles in conventional heat-transfer fluids, which are expected to exhibit high thermal conductivities compared to those of currently used heat transfer fluid, and they represent the best hope for enhancing heat transfer.

The Viscosity of Concentrated Suspensions and Solutions

TL;DR: In this paper, an expression for the viscosity of solutions and suspensions of finite concentration is derived by considering the effect of the addition of one solute-molecule to an existing solution, which is considered as a continuous medium.
