Effect of particle size on the convective heat transfer in nanofluid in the developing region

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of particle size on convective heat transfer in laminar developing region was evaluated with alumina-water nanofluids in tube flow with constant heat flux.
Journal ArticleDOI

Latest developments on the viscosity of nanofluids

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed review on theoretical models/correlations of conventional models related to nanofluid viscosity is presented, and the existing experimental results about the Nanofluids viscoities show clearly that viscoity augmented accordingly with an increase of volume concentration and decreased with the temperature rise.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review on nanofluids - Part I: Theoretical and numerical investigations

TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes recent research on theoretical and numerical investigations of various thermal properties and applications of nanofluids, as such suspensions are often called, indicate that the suspended nanoparticles markedly change the transport properties and heat transfer characteristics of the suspension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laminar convective heat transfer and viscous pressure loss of alumina–water and zirconia–water nanofluids

TL;DR: In this paper, heat transfer and viscous pressure loss were investigated for alumina-water and zirconia-water nanofluids in a flow loop with a vertical heated tube.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental investigation into the pool boiling heat transfer of aqueous based γ-alumina nanofluids

TL;DR: In this article, aqueous-based nanofluids containing γ-alumina nanoparticles (primary particle size 10-50 nm) were used to investigate their heat transfer behavior under nucleate pool boiling conditions.
