Experimental Testing of Hydrophobic Microchannels, with and without Nanofluids, for Solar PV/T Collectors

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the use of nanofluids in patterned hydrophobic microchannels, and found that slip with the walls reduced the impact of the increased viscosity of Nanoparticles by reducing the pressure drop on average 17%.

Nanofluid transport in a living soft microtube

TL;DR: A novel in situ fluorescence bioimaging method for observing real-time microflow patterns of nanofluids confined in a contracting and expanding soft microtube during the peristaltic transport of fluorescent nanoparticle suspensions by lymph vessels embedded in bulky tissues at the location of the hindlimb is reported.

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.
