Nanofluid is made through the nanoscale particles suspended in a fluid base and Nanotechnology is a new attempt in thermal science investigations. As a result of huge investment in developed countries on nanotechnology, research on thermal properties of nano-fluids is of particular interest. Due to the usage of nanotechnology to reduce energy consumptions, in this project CeO2 with EG is used t...

Liquid paraffin can be used as a coolant fluid in electronic and cutting devices due to its suitable capabilities such as electrical insulating, high heat capacity, chemical, and thermal stability, and high boiling point. In this study, the dynamic viscosity of paraffin containing the alumina nanoparticles has been examined experimentally. The nanofluids with different composition of alumina (0...

introduction: we investigated the difference in left ventricular ejection fraction (lvef) and end-systolic volume(esv) measured by gated myocardial perfusion spect (gspect) in the post-dipyridamole stress and rest periods, and compared the results with the perfusion patterns found in the conventional non-gated tomograms. methods: 297 consecutive patients were studied with post-stress and rest 9...

Heat transfer and fluid flow due to buoyancy forces in a partially heated enclosure using nanofluids is carried out using different types of nanoparticles. The flush mounted heater is located to the left vertical wall with a finite length. The temperature of the right vertical wall is lower than that of heater while other walls are insulated. The finite volume technique is used to solve the gov...

the forced convection heat transfer of turbulent al2o3-water nanofluid flow inside the grooved tubeswith the different aspect ratio of the rectangular grooves is numerically investigated. the governingequations have been solved using finite volume method (fvm) coupled with simple algorithm. it isassumed the heat flux is constant on the grooved walls. the single-phase approach is applied for the...

Coherent potential approximation is used to study the effect of adding doped spherical nanoparticles inside a host matrix on the thermoelectric properties. This takes into account electron multiple scatterings that are important in samples with relatively high volume fraction of nanoparticles (>1%). We show that with large fraction of uniform small size nanoparticles (∼1 nm), the power factor c...

common heat transfer fluids such as water, ethylene glycol, and engine oil have limited heat transfer capabilities due to their low heat transfer properties. nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles in base fluids, a new challenge for thermal sciences provided by nanotechnology. in this study, we are to optimize and report the effects of various parameters such as the ratio of the thermal co...

a nanofluid is a dilute liquid suspension of particles with at least one critical dimension smaller than ~100 nm. research works so far suggest that nanofluids offer excellent heat transfer enhancement over conventional base fluids. the enhancement depends on several factors such as particle shape, particle size distribution, volume fraction of nanoparticles, temperature, ph, and thermal conduc...
