Buoyancy-induced convection of water-based nanofluids in differentially-heated horizontal semi-annuli
TL;DR: In this article, a double-diffusive approach is used to perform a numerical study on natural convection of water-based nanofluids in differentially-heated horizontal semi-annuli, assuming that Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis are the only slip mechanisms by which the solid phase can develop a significant relative velocity with respect to the liquid phase.

Investigation on Convective Heat Transfer and Flow Features of Nanofluids
Yimin Xuan,Qiang Li +1 more
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.
