Modified Buongiorno’s model for fully developed mixed convection flow of nanofluids in a vertical annular pipe
TL;DR: In this paper, the mixed convective heat transfer of nanofluids through a concentric vertical annulus was considered and a modified two-component four-equation non-homogeneous equilibrium model that fully accounts for the effects of nanoparticles volume fraction distribution was employed.

Flow and heat transfer characteristics on a moving plate in a nanofluid
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the extended Blasius and Sakiadis problems in nanofluids, by considering a uniform free stream parallel to a fixed or moving flat plate, which has more practical significance.

Lie Group Solution for Free Convective Flow of a Nanofluid Past a Chemically Reacting Horizontal Plate in a Porous Media
TL;DR: In this article, the optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM) is employed to investigate the steady laminar incompressible free convective flow of a nanofluid past a chemically reacting upward facing horizontal plate in a porous medium taking into account heat generation/absorption and the thermal slip boundary condition.

Convection in Porous Media
Donald A. Nield,Adrian Bejan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an introduction to convection in porous media assumes the reader is familiar with basic fluid mechanics and heat transfer, going on to cover insulation of buildings, energy storage and recovery, geothermal reservoirs, nuclear waste disposal, chemical reactor engineering and the storage of heat-generating materials like grain and coal.

Convective Transport in Nanofluids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered seven slip mechanisms that can produce a relative velocity between the nanoparticles and the base fluid and concluded that only Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis are important slip mechanisms in nanofluids.
