Nanofluid Applications for Advanced Thermal Solutions

Nanofluid Applications for Advanced Thermal Solutions brings together expert contributions from around the world to provide a comprehensive understanding of the heat transfer application of nanofluids in a variety of fields, whilst explaining the main techniques used in nanofluid flow and heat transfer analysis. Nanofluids are becoming increasingly popular among scientists and researchers around the world. This new heat transfer medium improves the thermal conductivity of any working fluid by suspending small amounts of nanoparticles within it, allowing for increased heat transfer in a variety of real-time industrial applications.

The book features an introduction to heat transfer, nanofluid conduction, convection, and nanofluid boiling and provides a thorough understanding of a variety of applications, including the energy storage component of solar PVT systems. It covers fundamental topics such as the analysis and measurement of thermophysical properties, convection, and heat transfer equipment performance, and provides a rigorous framework to assist readers in developing new nanofluid-based devices. It also explores convective instabilities, nanofluids in porous media, and entropy generation in nanofluids.

Nanofluid Applications for Advanced Thermal Solutions is valuable to upper undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students and researchers in the fields of nanotechnology and nanofluids looking at heat transfer processes in chemical engineering and the petroleum industry.
