Fundamentals and Applications of Nanofluids provides an in-depth overview of the fundamental principles of nanofluids, including their synthesis, stability, thermophysical properties, and diverse applications across various industries. The book begins with a foundational review of nanofluids that is followed by a discussion on their thermophysical properties, behavior in heat transfer applications, and the complex interactions between nanoparticles and fluids. In addition, sections cover the rheology of nanofluids, their stability challenges, and their optical properties, along with applications in energy systems, including solar, thermal, and nuclear technologies.
The book also highlights the use of nanofluids in biomedical applications, environmental safety, industrial cooling systems, and in aerospace and automotive sectors, providing insights into computational modeling, experimental techniques for analysis, and emerging trends in nanofluid research. This will be a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners interested in the fundamentals and applications of nanofluids across a wide range of fields.
