Nanofluids, engineered colloidal dispersions of solid nanoparticles in liquid, belong to new
category of heat transfer fluids that have evinced intense research activities in the recent …

The parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC) is one of the most developed and
commercialized technologies in solar heating systems. The main purpose of this study is to …

Graphene oxide (GO), a mostly known oxidized derivative of graphene, which possesses
two-dimensional (2D) topological nature and good dispersity in multiple common solvents …

Experiments were carried out on preparation and characterization of ZnO–ethylene glycol
(EG) and ZnO–ethylene glycol–water nanofluids and analysis of their performance as …

Highly stable graphene oxide (GO)-based nanofluids were simply prepared by dispersing
graphite oxide with the average crystallite size of 20 nm, in polar base fluids without using …

In the present paper, unsteady free convection flow of Maxwell fluid containing clay-
nanoparticles is investigated. These particles are hanging in water, engine oil and kerosene …

The fact that some solid materials with suitable phases possess higher thermal conductivity
than liquids gave rise to their utilization in heat transfer processes. Fluids that contain …

Graphene oxide (GO) was used in this study as a template to successfully synthesize silicon
