Nanofluid Applications for Advanced Thermal Solutions

Nanofluid Applications for Advanced Thermal Solutions brings together expert, global contributions, providing a comprehensive understanding of the heat transfer application of nanofluids in a variety of fields, while also explaining the main techniques used in nanofluid flow and heat transfer analysis. The book features basic information describing an introduction to heat transfer, nanofluid conduction, convection and nanofluid boiling for readers who may not have a thorough understanding of a variety of applications, including the energy storage component of solar PVT systems. It covers fundamental topics such as the analysis and measurement of thermophysical properties, convection, and heat transfer equipment performance. Other sections explore convective instabilities, nanofluids in porous media, and entropy generation in nanofluids. This book will be useful to upper undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students and researchers in the fields of nanotechnology and nanofluids looking at heat transfer processes in chemical engineering and the petroleum industry.
