Description

Advanced Materials-Based Fluids for Thermal Systems focuses on new advanced materials called nanofluids that can be used to maximize heat transfer rates by adding nanoparticles (nanocomposites) into conventional heat transfer fluids. This comprehensive resource covers fundamentals, brief history, definitions, literature review, an introduction to thermophysical properties, and heat transfer characteristics with mathematical models, techniques, performance-affecting factors, applications, and challenges of hybrid nanofluids. The book includes thermal characteristics, measurement, design, and applications of nanoparticles, as well as up-to-date advances in thermal engineering. Sections cover basics then advance to major topics with mathematical models, schematic diagrams, and summaries of experimental work of different researchers. The book also summarizes previous research and contemporary advances on nanofluids worldwide and introduces new techniques, resolving existing problems, and includes tactics on the implementation in practical applications.
