Nanoparticles have proven to be effective in sensible and latent heat exchanges alike. Applications of nanoparticles phase change processes are associated with migration resuspension upon which our existing knowledge is very limited. This work experimentally investigates the ratio, stability during change. Knowledge on ratio essential gauge thermal lubricative enhancements subsequent processes....

A numerical simulation model for laminar flow of nanofluids in a pipe with constant heat flux on the wall was built to study the effect of the Reynolds number on convective heat transfer and pressure loss. The investigation was performed for hybrid nanofluids consisting of CuO-Cu nanoparticles and compared with CuO and Cu in which the nanoparticles have a spherical shape with size 50, 50, 50nm ...

In this study, the convective heat transfer and pressure drop in laminar flow of Al2O3/water and CuO/water nanofluids through square and triangular cross-sectional ducts have been numerically investigated using new technique. It has been assumed that there is constant heat flux boundary condition at walls. In addition, to include the presence of nanoparticles, the dispersion model has been used...

an empirical electrical conductivity assessment of nanofluids comprising cuo nanoparticles water-based in different concentrations, particles size and various temperatures of nanofluids has been carried out in this paper. these experimentations have been done in deionized water with nanoparticles sizes such as 89, 95, 100 and 112 nm and concentrations of 0.12 g/l, 0.14 g/l, 0.16 g/l and 0.18 g/...

This study examined the effects of a minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and Cupric oxide- (CuO-) based nanofluid on Inconel 718 machinability. Additionally, by using an MQL CuO-based during turning process, 718’s tribological characteristics are optimised. The experimentation was done method. With aid magnetic stirring ultrasonic bath CuO nanoparticles were dispersed in distilled water, sunflow...

In the recent years, great interest has been devoted to the unique properties of nanofluids. The dispersion process and the nanoparticle suspension stability have been found to be critical points in the development of these new fluids. For this reason, an experimental study on the stability of water-based dispersions containing different nanoparticles, i.e. single wall carbon nanohorns (SWCNHs)...

This paper investigates the entropy generation and natural convection inside a C-shaped cavity filled with CuO-water nanofluid and subjected to a uniform magnetic field. The Brownian motion effect is considered in predicting the nanofluid properties. The governing equations are solved using the finite volume method with the SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations) algorithm. ...

in this paper, the effect of the brownian term in natural convection of cuo-water nanofluid inside a partially filled porous cavity, with internal heat generation has been studied. it is assumed that the viscosity and thermal conductivity of nanofluid consists of a static part and a brownian part of which is a function of temperature and the volume fraction of nanofluid. because of internal hea...

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...
