Nanofluids effects on the evaporation rate in a solar still equipped with a heat exchanger

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a solar still equipped with a heat exchanger using nanofluids has been studied both experimentally and theoretically through three key parameters, i.e., freshwater yield, energy efficiency and exergy efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards hybrid nanofluids: Preparation, thermophysical properties, applications, and challenges

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors seek the attention of young scholars and experts working in the field of heat transfer by discussing the applications and challenges of hybrid nanofluids with a concise discussion on its history, synthesis techniques, thermophysical properties, research gaps, future directions, current status, and the leading groups, organizations and countries around the world.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanofluid flow and heat transfer between parallel plates considering Brownian motion using DTM

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the squeeze number, nanofluid volume fraction, Hartmann number and heat source parameter on flow and heat transfer was investigated, and the results showed that skin friction coefficient increases with increase of the Nusselt number and Hartmann numbers but it decreases with an increase in the volume fraction.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review and analysis on influence of temperature and concentration of nanofluids on thermophysical properties, heat transfer and pumping power

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive analysis has been performed to evaluate the effects on the performance of nanofluids due to variations of density, specific heat, thermal conductivity and viscosity, which are functions of nanoparticle volume concentration and temperature.

Experimental study of turbulent convective heat transfer and pressure drop of dilute CuO/water nanofluid inside a circular tube

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of small amounts of nanosized CuO particles to the base fluid and found that the added small amounts increased heat transfer coefficients considerably, in average 25% increase in heat transfer coefficient with 20% penalty in pressure drop.
