Bioconvection in MHD nanofluid flow with nonlinear thermal radiation and quartic autocatalysis chemical reaction past an upper surface of a paraboloid of revolution

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of magnetic field, nonlinear thermal radiation and homogeneous-heterogeneous quartic autocatalysis chemical reaction on an electrically conducting (36nm) alumina-water nanofluid containing gyrotactic-microorganism over an upper horizontal surface of a paraboloid of revolution is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review on how the researchers prepare their nanofluids

TL;DR: In this paper, the available data for the zeta potential as a function of pH is discussed and various types of nanoparticles with different base fluids are investigated, including metallic and nonmetallic nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heat transfer and flow behaviour of aqueous suspensions of titanate nanotubes (nanofluids)

TL;DR: In this article, Titanate nanotubes of an aspect ratio of ~ 10 are synthesized, characterised and dispersed in water to form stable nanofluids containing 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 wt.% of the nanotsubes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of partial slip boundary condition on the flow and heat transfer of nanofluids past stretching sheet prescribed constant wall temperature

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of slip boundary condition in the presence of dynamic effects of nano particles have not been investigated yet, and the results of the present paper show the flow velocity and the surface shear stress on the stretching sheet and also reduced Nusselt number and reduced Sherwood number are strongly influenced by the slip parameter.

A review on natural convective heat transfer of nanofluids

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review on the research progress on the natural convective heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids for both single and two-phase models is presented, where both experimental and theoretical studies are reviewed for natural convection of Nanofluid in different types of enclosures.
