Experimental investigation for developing a new model for the thermal conductivity of Silica/Water-Ethylene glycol (40%–60%) nanofluid at different temperatures and solid volume fractions

TL;DR: In this article, thermal conductivity of Silica and Water-Ethylene glycol as the base nanofluid, was measured within the temperature range of 25-50°C for samples with volume fractions of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 1.3, and 5%.

Numerical study of a confined slot impinging jet with nanofluids

TL;DR: A numerical investigation on confined impinging slot jet working with a mixture of water and Al2O3 nanoparticles shows that the intensity and size of the vortex structures depend on the confining effects, given by H/ W ratio, Reynolds number and particle concentrations.

Entropy generation analysis of different nanofluid flows in the space between two concentric horizontal pipes in the presence of magnetic field: Single-phase and two-phase approaches

TL;DR: Entropy generation analysis of different nanofluid flows in the space between two concentric horizontal pipes in the presence of magnetic field by using of single-phase and two-phase approaches was carried out and found that in all states, the Nusselt number is higher in two- Phase model than in single- phase model.
