the aim of this manuscript is to study the implication of aluminium-oxide nanofluid for an amphibious vehicle engine (viable on land and under water) cooling system both analytically and experimentally. to achieve this, a one-dimensional model of the engine cooling system (radiator) is considered through a computational fluid code in which the mass flow rate for a range of the coolant temperatu...

The attractive force between the nanoparticles can cause them to aggregate. Therefore, nanoparticles have to be dispersed by different methods, in order to utilize their unique material characteristics completely. This study aims to use the self-developed nanofluids synthesis system to produce a Cu-based nanofluid with good suspension stability and particle dispersion. Parameters such as peak c...

this paper presents a comprehensive theoretical, experimental, and economic study on the application of nanofluids as heat transfer fluid in waste heat recovery systems. the research work was conducted in a steel-making complex in which a plate heat exchanger had been used to recover heat from hot process water. the system was theoretically modelled and the effects of using nanofluids as heat t...

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...

Eulerian-Eulerian multi-phase mixture model is applied to numerically analyse the turbulent flow and heat transfer behaviours of water based Al2O3 and TiO2 nanofluids in a pipe. The main goal of the present work is to investigate the effects of volume concentrations, Brownian motion and size diameter of nanoparticles on the flow and heat transfer. Analysis of entropy generation is presented in ...

Transformer insulating oil nanofluid is made to improve dielectric and thermal properties of the oil by employing nanoparticles with proper properties. In the current work, nanofluids based on transformer mineral oil were prepared by three procedures using diamond nanoparticles with high thermal conductivity, as well as high dielectric properties. It was tried to consider the impacts of surfact...

Carbon nanomaterials are of great interest for next generation nanofluids. nanotubes and graphene are, in particular, highly thermally conductive their use as thermal fluid is gaining momentum among the research community. This work investigates performance nanoplatelet (GnP)-nanofluid multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-nanofluid by using a concentric pipe heat exchanger. The prepared nanoflu...

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. Effects of adding nanoparticle to pure wate...
