Nanofluids are gaining much importance over the past decade due to their enhanced thermal conductivity, specific heat, cooling capacity, electrical conductivities. Novel properties of nanofluids are yet to be explored to the highest potential applications. One of the prominent applications of nanofluids is in thermal conduction. The presence of nanoparticle in a fluid can enhance […]
Statistical methods, and especially machine learning, have been increasingly used in nanofluid modeling. This paper presents some of the interesting and applicable methods for thermal conductivity prediction and compares them with each other according to results and errors that are defined. The thermal conductivity of nanofluids increases with the volume fraction and temperature. Machine learning […]
The thermophysical properties and thermal performance of water- and ethylene-glycol-based nanofluids containing and CuO nanoparticles were examined. Nanofluids were prepared at four concentrations (1- 4 vol%) using an electric mixer and magnetic stirrer, and the thermophysical properties were measured. Surfactants were used to improve stability. The transient hot-wire method (KD2-Pro device), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), […]
