Publication of “Hybrid Nanofluids and Its Model Applications”

Description of the Book

Conventional heat transfer fluids like water, oil, and ethylene glycol, commonly used in manufacturing and engineering, often lose energy during the heat transfer process, compromising the overall performance of processes. Nanoparticles enhance heat transfer in conventional fluids, forming heat transfer nanofluids. A hybrid nanofluid is a fluid containing more than one type of nanoparticle, believed to have better thermal performance than regular nanofluids due to synergistic effects.

This book discusses recent developments and mathematical studies on nanofluids and hybrid nanofluids across various configurations, emphasizing the necessity of theoretical investigations to guide experimental design due to the high cost of experimentation. It begins by elucidating the fundamental principles of heat transfer and the role of nanoparticles in augmenting thermal performance. When dispersed in conventional fluids, nanoparticles create nanofluids that exhibit enhanced heat transfer properties.

Building on this foundation, the book introduces the concept of hybrid nanofluids, where multiple types of nanoparticles are combined to leverage synergistic effects for even greater thermal efficiency. By focusing on practical applications, it underscores the relevance of hybrid nanofluids in real-world scenarios, offering valuable insights for researchers, engineers, and professionals in manufacturing, engineering, and thermal sciences.

What sets this book apart is its comprehensive coverage, practical approach, and emphasis on synergistic effects. By bridging the gap between theory and application, it serves as an invaluable resource for individuals seeking to stay at the forefront of advancements in heat transfer fluids and harness the potential of hybrid nanofluids to optimize thermal performance in industrial processes.
