Heat transfer by using TiO2 nanofluids

2021

Abstract In the last decades, nanofluids have been proposed as thermo-vector fluids thanks to their interesting properties of thermal conduction and stability, which allow interesting performance in heat transfer applications. Consequently, different studies on the thermal properties, the potential benefits, and the possible applications of nanofluids appeared in the scientific literature. This chapter deals with heat transfer characteristics of TiO2 nanofluids, which nowadays appear to be almost ready for practical applications. Particular attention has been given to the preparation, the characterization, and the effects of different parameters on heat transfer. Moreover, challenges and op…
