Applications of Hybrid Nanofluids in
Science and Engineering delves deep into the multifaceted realms in
which these dynamic fluids are playing a pivotal role in various fields.
This
comprehensive volume elucidates the diverse applications and promising
potentials of hybrid nanofluids. It introduces hybrid nanofluids and
their preparation methods, thermophysical properties, advantages,
applications, and future scope. Models to compute the effective
thermophysical properties of hybrid nanofluids are also discussed,
along with their limitations. In the application section, mathematical
models are formulated to contemplate the flow of hybrid nanofluids
through different surfaces/geometries under different situations. Also,
the entropy generation minimization in hybrid nanofluid flow is
discussed with its application in refrigeration, power generation, and
other processes.
The subject matter in this book will enable the reader to do the following:
• Learn the ins and outs of hybrid nanofluids―from how they are made to the special characteristics they embody.
•
Explore hybrid nanofluids' potential in thermal management, energy
systems, materials science, biomedical engineering, and more.
• Use advanced computational and analytical methods to analyse complex fluid dynamics models.
• Anticipate the impact of hybrid nanofluid research on upcoming sectors like renewable energy and innovative manufacturing.
This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in mechanical and chemical engineering and materials science.
