Elsevier Hybrid Nanofluids: Preparation, Characterization and Applications (Micro and Nano Technologies)

Product Description Hybrid Nanofluids: Preparation, Characterization and Applications presents the history of hybrid nanofluids, preparation techniques, thermoelectrical properties, rheological behaviors, optical properties, theoretical modeling and correlations, and the effect of all these factors on potential applications, such as solar energy, electronics cooling, heat exchangers, machining, and refrigeration. Future challenges and future work scope have also been included. The information from this book enables readers to discover novel techniques, resolve existing research limitations, and create novel hybrid nanofluids which can be implemented for heat transfer applications. Review Provides detailed information on the characterization, properties and applications of a range of hybrid nanofluid types From the Back Cover <p>Nanoparticles suspended in traditional heat transfer fluid enhance thermal conductivity. The addition of these nanoparticles to the conventional heat transfer fluids enhances the heat transfer rate. In this work, the history of hybrid nanofluids, preparation techniques, thermoelectrical properties, rheological behaviors, optical properties, theoretical modeling and correlations, and the effect of all these factors on potential applications, such as solar energy, electronics cooling, heat exchangers, machining, and refrigeration, etc., will be discussed in detail. Future challenges and future work scope have also been included. </p> <p>The information from this book enables readers to discover novel techniques, resolve existing research limitations, and create novel hybrid nanofluids, which can be implemented for heat transfer applications. </p> About the Author Zafar Said is an Assistant Professor in the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering Department, at the University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.
