Empirical correlating equations for predicting the effective thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of nanofluids

TL;DR: In this article, two empirical correlations for predicting the effective thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of nanofluids, based on a high number of experimental data available in the literature, are proposed and discussed.

A new thermal conductivity model for nanofluids

TL;DR: In this article, a thermal conductivity model for nanofluids has been developed, which takes the effects of particle size, particle volume fraction and temperature dependence as well as properties of base liquid and particle phase into consideration by considering surrounding liquid traveling with randomly moving nanoparticles.

Finite difference solution of mhd radiative boundary layer flow of a nanofluid past a stretching sheet

TL;DR: In this paper, the non-similar solutions are presented which depend on the Magnetic parameter M respectively, the obtained equations have been solved by explicit finite difference method and temperature and concentration profiles are discussed for the different values of the above parameters with different time steps.

A review of nanofluid stability properties and characterization in stationary conditions

TL;DR: In this article, the stability of nanofluids is discussed as it has a major role in heat transfer enhancement for further possible applications, and general stabilization methods as well as various types of instruments for stability inspection.

Heat transfer enhancement by using nanofluids in forced convection flows

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of laminar forced convection flow of nanofluids has been thoroughly investigated for two particular geometrical configurations, namely a uniformly heated tube and a system of parallel, coaxial and heated disks.
