Hybrid Nanofluids for Application in the Chemical and Petroleum Industry covers the basics of hybrid nanofluids in heat transfer processes as well as their applications in the chemical and petroleum industries. This book begins with a detailed overview of the thermo-physical and optical properties of hybrid nanofluids, before covering the application of the heat-transfer enhancement in heat exchangers, CO2 absorption/regeneration, and metal extraction/stripping operations. It also covers the applications of hybrid nanofluids and heat transfer enhancement in the petroleum industry, as well as recent advances and challenges involved in nanofluid applications in industrial processes. The detailed interrelation of nanofluids’ properties and performance enhancement mechanisms in the various chemical and petroleum processes are also reviewed. This book is written for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of nanotechnology and chemical engineering, executive engineers, government workers in manufacturing, chemical and biomedical industry, or R&D laboratories working on nanotechnology and chemical processes.
