Preparation, Characterization, Properties, and Application of Nanofluid (Micro & Nano Technologies) - Softcover

Preparation, Characterization, Properties and Application of Nanofluid begins with an introduction of colloidal systems and their relation to nanofluid. Special emphasis on the preparation of stable nanofluid and the impact of ultrasonication power on nanofluid preparation is also included, as are characterization and stability measurement techniques. Other topics of note in the book include the thermophysical properties of nanofluids as thermal conductivity, viscosity, and density and specific heat, including the figure of merit of properties. In addition, different parameters, like particle type, size, concentration, liquid type and temperature are discussed based on experimental results, along with a variety of other important topics.

The available model and correlations used for nanofluid property calculation are also included.

Preparation, Characterization, Properties and Application of Nanofluid will begin with the introduction of colloidal systems and will discuss its relation with nanofluid. Available preparation methods of nanofluid will be included. There will be special emphasize on how to prepare stable nanofluid and the impact of ultrasonication power on nanofluid preparation. Nanofluid characterization and stability measurement technics will be discussed. Thermophysical properties of nanofluids as thermal conductivity, viscosity, density, specific heat and surface tension including the figure of merit of the properties will be discussed. Also, the effect of different parameters like particle type, size, concentration; liquid type and temperature on these thermophysical properties will be discussed based on experimental results. Rheological behaviours and optical properties of nanofluid will be included (as two separate chapters other than thermophysical properties). Moreover, the effect of different parameters on these properties will be discussed. The available model and correlations used for nanofluid property calculation will be included. Also, the numerical formulas will be discussed, which are used to calculate performance parameters like heat transfer coefficient, pressure drop, energy, etc. of thermal systems. The numerical analysis will be included for heat exchangers performance improvement by using nanofluid properties. Potential application (existing and promising) of nanofluids will be discussed.
