Series solutions of non-Newtonian nanofluids with Reynolds' model and Vogel's model by means of the homotopy analysis method

TL;DR: The fully developed flow of an incompressible, thermodynamically compatible non-Newtonian third-grade nanofluid in coaxial cylinders is studied and the role of pertinent parameters is illustrated graphically.

A Review of Thermal Conductivity Data, Mechanisms and Models for Nanofluids

TL;DR: A review of the physical mechanisms proposed to explain the thermal conductivity of nanofluids is presented in this article, where the authors discuss some controversial issues such as data inconsistencies, the sufficiency and suitability of classical and new mechanisms, and the discrepancies between experimental data and model predictions.

Heat transfer characteristics of refrigerant-based nanofluid flow boiling inside a horizontal smooth tube

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of nanoparticles on the heat transfer characteristics of refrigerant-based nanofluid flow boiling inside a horizontal smooth tube was investigated, and a correlation for predicting heat transfer performance was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact analysis of nanoparticle motion mechanisms on the thermal conductivity of nanofluids

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative effects of nanoparticle motion mechanisms of dilute suspensions, i.e., Brownian motion, thermo-phoresis and osmo-phoreis, including size dependence, on the thermal conductivity were theoretically investigated.
