Elsevier Advances in Nanofluid Heat Transfer

Advances in Nanofluid Heat Transfer covers the broad definitions, brief history, preparation techniques, thermophysical properties, heat transfer characteristics, and emerging applications of hybrid nanofluids. Starting with the basics, this book advances step-by-step toward advanced topics, with mathematical models, schematic diagrams and discussions of the experimental work of leading researchers. By introducing readers to new techniques, this book helps readers resolve existing problems and implement nanofluids in innovative new applications. This book provides detailed coverage of stability and reliable measurement techniques for nanofluid properties, as well as different kinds of base fluids. Providing a clear understanding of what happens at the nanoscale, the book is written to be used by engineers in industry as well as researchers and graduate students.

About the Author Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Ali, currently working as an associate professor of Mechanical Engineering at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Saudi Arabia, received his doctoral degree in mechanical engineering from School of Engineering and Materials Science, Queen Mary, University of London, United Kingdom, in 2011. He was a postdoc at Water and Energy Laboratory of University of California at Merced, United States, during 2015-16. His research interests include electronics cooling, condensation, nanofluids, heat transfer devices, and thermal management. He is the recipient of the “Best Young Research Scholar Award for 2017 in the Engineering category, conferred by Higher Education Commission of Pakistan at the 7th HEC Outstanding Research Award Ceremony. He also had the honour of receiving HEC’s Best Research Paper Award (2013/2014) and Research Productivity Award by Pakistan Council of Science and Technology (2016-17). Apart from his academic duties, he is actively involved with editorial duties at several international journals, notably Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, International Journal of Thermofluids, Journal Thermal Science, and Journal of Mechanical Engineering.
