Mixed convection in gravity-driven thin film non-Newtonian nanofluids flow with gyrotactic microorganisms

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical approach for the non-Newtonian thin film nanofluids bioconvection based on physical mechanisms responsible for the nanoparticles and the base fluid, such as Brownian motion and thermophoresis, is presented.

Buoyancy induced model for the flow of 36 nm alumina-water nanofluid along upper horizontal surface of a paraboloid of revolution with variable thermal conductivity and viscosity

TL;DR: In this paper, the motion of nanofluid (water and 36nm alumina nanoparticles) along upper horizontal surface of a paraboloid of revolution in the presence of nonlinear thermal radiation, Lorentz force and space dependent internal heat source within thin boundary layer is investigated theoretically.

Characterization and experimental investigation of Al2O3 nanoparticle based cutting fluid in turning of AISI 1040 steel under minimum quantity lubrication (MQL)

TL;DR: In this article, a new nanofluid is prepared by mixing Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles in conventional cutting fluid at different concentrations, which is characterized for its thermal conductivity and viscosity at all nanoparticle concentrations.

Thermal performance and efficiency of a thermosyphon heat pipe working with a biologically ecofriendly nanofluid

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal performance of a wickless thermosyphon heat pipe charged with a biologically-produced ecofriendly working fluid is experimentally studied and the results showed that using the nanoparticles leads to the reduction in temperature distribution and enhances thermal performance.
