Peristaltic flow of a nanofluid with slip effects

TL;DR: In this paper, the peristaltic flow of a nanofluid in an asymmetric channel is analyzed by taking into account the slip effects, and closed form solutions for stream function and pressure gradient are developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental study of thermal conductivity and convective heat transfer enhancement using CuO and TiO2 nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of nanoparticles on the thermal conductivity of base fluids like monoethylene glycol and water was studied in a shell and tube heat exchanger, and the experimental results have been compared to those of Dittus-Boelter correlation, Xuan & Li and Gnielinski correlation for laminar and turbulent flow region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybrid nanofluid flow and heat transfer over backward and forward steps: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the experimental and numerical results on the usage of hybrid nanofluids for heat transfer through micro-scale facing steps, including backward-facing step (BFS), forwardface step (FFS), and microscale steps with different flow regimes and working fluids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magneto-hydrodynamic thermal convection of Cu–Al 2 O 3 /water hybrid nanofluid saturated with porous media subjected to half-sinusoidal nonuniform heating

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal efficacy of half-sinusoidal non-uniform heating at different spatial frequencies for a porous natural convection system using Cu-Al2O3/water hybrid nanofluid and magnetic field was examined.

Experimental studies on the stability of CuO nanoparticles dispersed in different base fluids: influence of stirring, sonication and surface active agents

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of different parameters on the stability of spherical CuO nanoparticles dispersed in water, ethylene glycol and 50:50 water/ethylene glycol binary mixture as different base fluids for heat transfer applications was investigated.
