Thermal Performance of Silver/Water Nanofluids in Heat Exchangers

Bandarra Filho E.P., Oliveira G.A., Federal University of Uberlandia, BR

Nanofluids are fluid formed by dispersing solid particles of size ranging 1-100 nm (nanoparticles) in a given base fluid such as water or oil, for example. Regarding to the thermal potential, the researches on nanofluids [...]

Comparison and Critical Analysis of Experimental Results and Correlations for Thermal Conductivity of Nanofluids

Bandarra Filho E.P., Oliveira G.A., Wen D., Federal University of Uberlandia, BR

Suspensions of nanoparticles in liquids, known recently as “nanofluids,” have generated considerable interest for their potential to enhance the heat transfer in thermal systems, and reduce the possibility of erosion, sedimentation and clogging that plagued [...]
