Nanofluids are produced by suspending different solid nano-size materials (metal and nonmetal) in a base liquid often used energy systems to increase thermal performance heat transfer rate. The main problem observed nanofluids applications is their instability. Researchers have developed proposed some solutions obtain stable nanofluids. One of the most important solutions, nanoparticles surface...

The effect of heat source/sink on steady two-dimensional laminar MHD mixed convection boundary layer flow past a vertical permeable surface embedded in a porous medium saturated by a nanofluid is performed in this study. Numerical solutions of the similarity equations are obtained using the shooting method. Three types of metallic or nonmetallic nanoparticles, namely Copper (Cu), Alumina (Al2O3...

Surface roughness is a variable often used to describe the quality of ground surfaces as well as to evaluate the competitiveness of the overall grinding system. The subject of this paper is a grinding process performed on P20 tool steel by changing the grinding conditions, including the depth of cut, the grinding passes, the type of wheel, and the cutting fluid supply in the experiment. The mai...

Unsteady flow and heat transfer from a circular cylinder in cross-flow is studied numerically. The governing equations are solved by using finite volume method. Reynolds number varies in range of 50 to 200; in this range flow is considered to be laminar and unsteady. Al2O3 nanoparticle with volume fraction in range of 5% to 20% is added to pure water.

In this paper a new equation for calculating the nanofluid viscosity by considering the Brownian motion of nanoparticles is introduced. The relative velocity between the base fluid and nanoparticles has been taken into account. This equation presents the nanofluid viscosity as a function of the temperature, the mean nanoparticle diameter, the nanoparticle volume fraction, the nanoparticle densi...

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to model the thermal properties of a fluid containing solid nanoparticles (nanofluid). The flexibility of molecular simulation allows us to consider the effects of particle mass, particle-particle and particle-fluid interaction and that of the spatial distribution of the particles on the thermal conductivity. We show that the heat conductivity of a well d...

In this paper, we report the design of a new nanofluid for anti-pathogenic surface coating. For this purpose, new 2-((4-ethylphenoxy)methyl)-N-(substituted-phenylcarbamothioyl)-benzamides were synthesized and used as an adsorption shell for Fe3O4/C12 core/shell nanosized material. The functionalized specimens were tested by in vitro assays for their anti-biofilm properties and biocompatibility....

This paper examines the natural convection in a square enclosure that is filled with a nanofluid. This nanofluid with Ethylene Glycol based containing Copper nanoparticle is influenced by a uniform horizontal magnetic field and uniform heat generation or heat absorption. The enclosure is bounded by two isothermal vertical walls at different temperatures and by two horizontal adiabatic walls. Th...
