Review of thermo-physical properties, wetting and heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids and their applicability in industrial quench heat treatment

TL;DR: The thermo-physical properties, wetting and boiling heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids are reviewed and discussed and would be extremely useful for exploiting them as quench media for industrial heat treatment.

The effect of temperature and solid concentration on dynamic viscosity of MWCNT/MgO (20–80)–SAE50 hybrid nano-lubricant and proposing a new correlation: An experimental study

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic viscosity of MWCNT/MgO (20-80) -SAE50 hybrid nano-lubricant was investigated in solid concentrations ranging from 0.25% to 2% and temperatures ranging from 25°C to 50°C.

Low-frequency vibration for fouling mitigation and intensification of thermal performance of a plate heat exchanger working with CuO/water nanofluid

TL;DR: In this paper, low frequency vibration was implemented to mitigate the fouling of nanoparticles inside the heat exchanger, which can enhance the roughness, friction factor and the pressure drop inside the Heat Exchanger.

Nanofluids and critical heat flux, experimental and analytical study

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of different nanoparticle characteristics including particle concentration, size and type on critical heat flux experimentally at saturated conditions is evaluated and the authors identify reasons behind the increase in the critical heat flow and present possible approaches for analytical modeling of critical flux in nanofluids.
