(Nanowerk Spotlight) Nanofluids – engineered colloidal suspensions of nanoparticles in a base fluid – are attracting a great deal of interest with their enormous potential to provide enhanced ...

Nanofluids and turbulators have enormous potential to boost thermal conductivity, increase heat transfer efficiency, cut energy costs, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, scientists say. Nanofluids, ...

A new study reveals how advanced carbon based nanofluids could significantly improve heat transfer in technologies ranging from microelectronics to ...

A nanofluid is a fluid that contains nanoparticles that have been dispersed evenly throughout the fluid. Nanoparticles, generally smaller than 100 nanometers, are combined with a base fluid (such as ...

Nanofluids are attracting a great deal of interest with their enormous potential to provide enhanced performance properties, particularly with respect to heat transfer. In response, this text takes ...

A British-Egyptian research group has tested the use of hydrogels beads for PV module cooling. The micro-sized particles were saturated with aluminium oxide (Al2O3) water-based nanofluids and placed ...

Many industrial processes involve the heat treatment of materials, such as metals, plastics, and composites. Commonly used heat transfer fluids such as water, ethylene glycol, and oils exhibit ...

Since the interaction between the abrasive grain, workpiece and nanofluids on the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) grinding interface are difficult to observe directly, there is still lack of direct ...

Nanofluids can act as smart materials that can be switched on and off to dissipate heat efficiently or poorly. Department of Physics of the University of Milan shows that nanofluids can act as smart ...

Scientists in Mexico have conceived a new solar module cooling tech that can reportedly improve PV power generation by up to 2%. The system uses nanofluids embedded in an aluminum single-channel ...
