Mass and Heat Transfer in Nanofluids

The novel concept of nanofluids, first introduced by Choi (1995), has been proposed as a route to surpassing the performance of heat transfer fluids currently available. He has shown that heat transfer can be enhanced by employing various techniques and methodologies, such as increasing either the heat transfer surface or the heat transfer coefficient between the fluid and the surface, that allow high heat transfer rates in a small volume. Nanofluids occur naturally in a wide range of scientific fields which, recently has attracted the attention of researchers from a diverse range of fields such as chemical and mechanical engineering, biology, nuclear reactors, solar ponds, geothermal reservoirs, solar collectors, crystal growth in liquids, electronic cooling, chemical processing, etc. It is worth mentioning that many references on nanofluids can be found in the books by Nield and Bejan (2013), and Shenoy et al. (2016), and in the review papers by Buongiorno (2006), Mahian et al. (2013), Myers et al. (2017), etc.
