Advanced Materials-Based Fluids for Thermal Systems will focus on the new class of fluids based on advanced materials called nanofluids, used to maximize heat transfer rates with the addition of nanoparticles (nanocomposites) into conventional heat transfer fluid.

This comprehensive resource covers fundamentals, brief history, definitions, literature review, introduction to thermophysical properties and heat transfer characteristics with mathematical models, techniques, performance-affecting factors, applications and challenges of hybrid nanofluids. It includes thermal characteristics, measurement, design, and applications of nanoparticles as well as up-to-date advances in thermal engineering. The text will begin with basics then advance towards major topics with mathematical models, schematic diagrams, and summaries of experimental work of different researchers. This book summarizes previous research and contemporary advances on nanofluids worldwide and introduces new techniques, resolving existing problems, and implementation in practical applications.

This is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and scientists in thermal science, thermodynamics, heat transfer, power generation, renewable energy, energy and energy engineering, energy management, materials science, mechanical and chemical engineering, as well as engineers, academics, and professionals with a focus on nanofluids, heat transfer and thermal systems. Readers will gain understanding of complex preparation techniques of phase-change materials, selection of different parameters, properties, measuring techniques, developed mathematical models and heat-transfer terminologies.
