one of the effective methods to improve the thermal efficiency of solar collectors is using nanofluids as the coolant. the present study experimentally investigated the effect of sio2/water nanofluid with 1% mass fraction on the performance of a symmetric collector, i.e. conical solar collector. the conical solar collector with 1 m2 area and normal to the earth was tested in ahvaz, a city in th...

The present paper focuses on numerical study for an inclined magneto-hydrodynamic effect on free convection flow of a tangent hyperbolic nanofluid embedded with Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) over a stretching surface taking velocity and thermal slip into account. Two types of nanoparticles are considered for the study; they are single and multi-walled nanotubes. The presentation of single-parameter g...

Enhanced oil recovery using nanoparticles is a promising method. However, when injected into reservoir, can block pores and cause permeability damage. Therefore, enhancing their performance to lower the damage effect crucial. This study investigated of pH alteration through carbon dioxide (CO2) injection on limestone caused by an aluminum oxide (α-Al2O3) nanofluid. The methodology involved nano...

Grinding is finishing process aimed at achieving surface quality and dimensional accuracy in workpieces with tight tolerances especially from materials with a high degree of hardness and strength. The grinding process of superalloys is faced with problems and challenges caused by the generation of excessiveheatas well as the adhesion of workpiecematerialon the grinding tool. Therefore, in-depth...

Thermal conductivity is one of the important thermophysical property nanofluid in enhancing heat transfer. To analyse transfer boundary layer problems thermal diffusivity coefficient along with embedded nano particle values will be used via various models. Many models are being utilised for theoretical analysis behaviour such as Maxwell model, Hamilton crosser model etc. In this current communi...

The abrasion is a significant issue, especially in machining of rigid steels. A functional and suitable approach for enhancing the heat transfer from machining area is using an intermediate fluid with higher heat transfer potential instead of common fluids. The objective of this experimental study is to discuss production, stability and thermal conductivity examination of water/graphene oxide n...
