A novel experimental nanofluid-assisted steam flooding (NASF) approach for enhanced heavy oil recovery

TL;DR: In this article , a nanofluid-assisted steam injection approach for the enhanced recovery of heavy oil is investigated where a hot hydrophilic HNF slug is injected, followed by superheated steam (SHS) in a second slug, to effectively synergize the recovery mechanisms of both EOR agents.

Study of dispersion stability and thermo-physical properties of CuO-Jatropha oil-based nanolubricants

TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental data of viscosity and thermal conductivity of nanolubricants at different temperatures have been checked by measuring viscosities at regular intervals of time and it was observed that stability decreases with increase of CuO loading.

Anomalously increased effective thermal conductivities of ethylene glycol-based nanofluids containing copper nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a "nanofluid" consisting of copper nanometer-sized particles dispersed in ethylene glycol has a much higher effective thermal conductivity than either pure or pure glycol or even polyethylene glycol containing the same volume fraction of dispersed oxide nanoparticles.

Measuring Thermal Conductivity of Fluids Containing Oxide Nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, a transient hot-wire method was used to measure the thermal conductivity of a small amount of nanoparticles and the experimental results showed that these nanoparticles have substantially higher thermal conductivities than the same liquids without nanoparticles.

Anomalous thermal conductivity enhancement in nanotube suspensions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have produced nanotube-in-oil suspensions and measured their effective thermal conductivity, which is anomalously greater than theoretical predictions and is nonlinear with nanotubes loadings.
