Abstract
Fluids with nano size solid particles suspended in them have been given the name nano-fluid which in recent studies have shown tremendous promise as heat transfer fluids. However, before suggesting such fluids for applications a thorough knowledge of physical mechanism of heat transfer in such fluids is wanted. The present study deals with one such aspect of natural convection of nano fluids inside horizontal cylinder heated from one end and cooled from the other. An apparently paradoxical behaviour of heat transfer deterioration was observed in the experimental study. Nature of this deterioration and its dependence on parameters such as particle concentration, material of the particles and geometry of the containing cavity have been investigated. The fluid shows characters distinct from that of common slurries.

Preparation and Characterization of Micro-nanoscale MSWI Ash and Their Metal Release on MSW Anaerobic Digestion

TL;DR: In this article, the preparation of the micro-nanoscale municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) ashes by using ball mill (PM 100) was investigated, and the physicochemical properties of MSWI ashes such as particle size, mineral compounds and metal content were further characterized by X-ray powder diffractometer (XRPD), X-Ray energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and induced coupled plasma optical emission spectrometers (ICP-OES).

Numerical Model for Heat Transfer Analysis of Heavy Earth Moving Machinery Nanofluids Coolant

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical model has been developed for evaluating thermal performance of nanofluid and a Rayleigh dimensionless approach has been used to develop this model, which has shown that Al2O3 nanoparticles showed better thermal behavior than compares with Fe2O 3 and CuO nanofluid at the same volume fraction.

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.
