Entropy generation in steady MHD flow due to a rotating porous disk in a nanofluid

TL;DR: In this article, the analysis of the second law of thermodynamics applied to an electrically conducting incompressible nanofluid fluid flowing over a porous rotating disk in the presence of an externally applied uniform vertical magnetic field is considered.

Natural convection heat transfer of alumina-water nanofluid in vertical square enclosures: An experimental study

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study has been undertaken concerning natural convection heat transfer of a nanofluid in vertical square enclosures of different sizes, whose dimensions, width, height, and length (mm) are 25, 25, 30, 60, 40, 80, 90, and 120, respectively.

Thermophysical and electrokinetic properties of nanofluids – A critical review

TL;DR: In this paper, various aspects of nanofluids including synthesis, potential applications, experimental and analytical studies on the effective thermal conductivity, effective thermal diffusivity, convective heat transfer, and electrokinetic properties are critically reviewed.

Laminar nanofluid flow in microheat-sinks

TL;DR: In this paper, steady laminar liquid nanofluid flow in micro-channels is simulated and analyzed, and the impact of nanoparticle concentrations in these two mixture flows on the microchannel pressure gradients, temperature profiles and Nusselt numbers are computed, in light of aspect ratio, viscous dissipation and enhanced temperature effects.
