Description;
The composition of various guest metallic, non-metallic nanoparticles along with its host fluid is termed as a “nanofluid”. These particles are dispersed in the host liquid stably and thermally in equilibrium with the host fluid. Nanofluids generally have superior heat transport characteristics over conventional fluids. The suspended nanoparticles improve the thermal conductivity of the base fluid which significantly alters its thermal performance.
Therefore, scientists and engineers have been focusing on studying heat transfer and the effectiveness of nanofluids for their industrial and engineering applications. Such applications cover large fields including applied thermal engineering, optimization design and modeling, energy storage, biomass, heat geothermy, mechanical engineering, biotechnology, chemical engineering, aerodynamics and electronic devices.
The progressive applications of nanofluids attain huge interest from both researchers and scientists. The analysis of nanofluid flow models over a bounded or semi-infinite regions under certain flow conditions is a hot research area regarding the current universal heat transfer problems. Usually, such models are highly nonlinear and coupled systems of ordinary differential equations or partial differential equations. Many classical approaches are available in the existing scientific literature to tackle such models. However, mathematicians have been developing new mathematical techniques to handle contemporary issues beyond a model. Among them, an efficient technique is known as the “Fractional Order Derivative Approach” has attained much fame around the globe. This technique became very effective to solve the heat transfer problems.
The purpose of this Research Topic is to overcome the modern world heat transfer problems by introducing new nanofluids and their thermal performance under various flow regions. These are very significant from an industrial and engineering point of view. The study of fractional nanofluid models, semi-analytical and numerical techniques, computation fluid dynamics, experimental and theoretical research will fall in the domain of this Research Topic.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
• Fractional order approaches in the study of nanofluids;
• Heat transfer in nano and hybrid nanofluids;
• Newtonian and non-Newtonian nanofluids;
• Biomass and system geothermy;
• Energy storage;
• Radiative nano- and hybrid-nanofluids;
• Analytical and numerical analysis of nanofluid models;
• Role of nanofluids in solar thermal energy storage;
• Heat exchangers;
• Thermophysical characteristics;
• Optimization design and modeling.
