Nanofluid

TL;DR: In this article, three kinds of nanofluids are prepared by dispersing Al2O3 and AlN nanoparticles-in-transformer oil, and the thermal conductivity of the nanoparticle-oil mixtures increases with particle volume fraction and thermal conductivities of the solid particle itself.

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model is analyzed in order to study the natural convection boundary layer flow along an inverted cone, where the shape of nanosize particles on entropy generation with based fluid is considered.

TL;DR: In this article, an integrated microsystem consisting of a single microchannel on one side, and two localized heaters and five polysilicon temperature sensors along the channel on the other side were fabricated.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the volume fraction, the size of nanoparticles, and the average temperature of nanofluids on natural convective instability and heat transfer characteristics of water-based Al2O3 nanoparticles in a rectangular cavity heated from below are theoretically analyzed.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of Brownian motion on the effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluid is investigated using Lattice Boltzmann method to solve the governing equations.
