The insight flow characteristics of concentrated MWCNT in water base fluid: experimental study and ANN modelling

TL;DR: In this paper, an optimal Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used to predict the complex viscosity of MWCNT/water nanofluid over flow behaviour variation, which is difficult to predict using traditional models.

A comparative study of rheological behavior in hybrid nano-lubricants (HNLs) with the same composition/nanoparticle ratio characteristics and different base oils to select the most suitable lubricant in industrial applications

TL;DR: In this article , the relationship between viscosity changes and temperature, SVF and SR are observed in reverse, direct and inverse, respectively, and a new three-variable-quadruple correlation relationship with an accuracy of R2 = 0.9994 is presented to predict the visosity of selected HNLs.

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.

Hydrodynamic and heat transfer study of dispersed fluids with submicron metallic oxide particles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a Brookfield rotating viscometer to measure the viscosities of the dispersed fluids with γ-alumina (Al2O3) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles at a 10% volume concentration.

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.
