Introduction to nanofluids--their properties, synthesis,characterization, and applications
Nanofluids are attracting a great deal of interest with theirenormous potential to provide enhanced performance properties,particularly with respect to heat transfer. In response, this texttakes you on a complete journey into the science and technology ofnanofluids. The authors cover both the chemical and physicalmethods for synthesizing nanofluids, explaining the techniques forcreating a stable suspension of nanoparticles. You get an overviewof the existing models and experimental techniques used in studyingnanofluids, alongside discussions of the challenges and problemsassociated with some of these models.
Next, the authors set forth and explain the heat transferapplications of nanofluids, including microelectronics, fuel cells,and hybrid-powered engines. You also get an introduction topossible future applications in large-scale cooling andbiomedicine.
This book is the work of leading pioneers in the field, one of whomholds the first U.S. patent for nanofluids. They have combinedtheir own first-hand knowledge with a thorough review oftheliterature. Among the key topics are:
* Synthesis of nanofluids, including dispersion techniques andcharacterization methods
* Thermal conductivity and thermo-physical properties
* Theoretical models and experimental techniques
* Heat transfer applications in microelectronics, fuel cells, andvehicle engines
This text is written for researchers in any branch of science andtechnology, without any prerequisite.It therefore includes somebasic information describing conduction, convection, and boiling ofnanofluids for those readers who may not have adequate backgroundin these areas. Regardless of your background, you'll learn todevelop nanofluids not only as coolants, but also for a host ofnewapplications on the horizon.
