Double-Diffusive Effects on the Onset of Rayleigh-Benard Convection of Water-Based Nanofluids
TL;DR: In this paper , a numerical study on the Rayleigh-Benard convection in a shallow cavity filled with different metal-oxide water-based nanofluids is presented through a two-phase model, which accounts for the effects of the Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis, at variable properties with temperature.

CFD study of heat transfer effect on nanofluid of Newtonian and non-Newtonian type under vibration
TL;DR: In this paper, a grid independent CFD model was validated in various aspects such as it was validated for variation of local Nusselt number, isothermal vibrational flow and non-isoviscous viscosity model so that one could believe the results obtained from the model.

Investigation of the effect of particle stability on the transport properties and thermal behavior of ethylene glycol-water/SiO2 binary nanofluids
Layth Al-Gebory,Layth Al-Gebory +1 more
TL;DR: The transport properties and thermal behavior of ethylene glycol-water/{\rm SiO}_2 binary Nfs are investigated in two sections, considering the effect of particle stability and size growth and it is found that thebinary Nfs that contain different types of base fluids show different stability behavior at different pH values at the same particle concentration.
