It has been more than two decades since the discovery of nanofluids-mixtures of common
liquids and solid nanoparticles less than 100 nm in size. As a type of colloidal suspension …

The purpose of this review summarizes the recent published papers on the heat transfer and
fluid flow characteristics in curved tubes using conventional fluids and nanofluids as working …

An entropy generation analysis for the Cu-water nanofluid flow through a wavy channel over
heat exchanger plat is investigated. Entropy generation is expressed as a function of velocity …

Today, one of the most common methods for heat extraction from the solar ponds is using
spiral piping system. In this study, effects of nanofluid concentrations and different cross …

In this paper, forced convection fluid flow and heat transfer of boehmite alumina–ethylene
glycol and water mixture (50: 50) nanofluid in sinusoidal-wavy wall mini-channel with wall …

A parabolic trough is defined as a type of solar thermal collector that is straight in one
dimension and curved as a parabola in the other two, lined with a polished metal mirror …

Solar energy is among the cleanest and most adaptable compared to other renewable
energy sources. The major challenge is how to get this energy in efficient way to make it …

Nanofluids have been reported to be capable of heat transfer intensification. Performance of
an agitated shell and helical coil heat exchanger has been experimentally investigated …

This study attempts to numerically investigate the hydro-thermal characteristics of a ferrofluid
(water and 4 vol% Fe 3 O 4) in a counter-current horizontal double pipe heat exchanger …

The magnetic field application provides a method of active regulation for passive phase
change. Nonetheless, the effects and mechanisms of the uniform magnetic field on phase …
