Enhancement of heat transfer using CuO/water nanofluid and twisted tape with alternate axis☆ (2011, methodology): “The thermal conductivity was calculated fromMaxwell model [26] which is recommended for the homogeneous liquid–solid suspensions with low volume concentration of randomly dispersed, uniformly sized and non interacting spherical particles [1].”
Nanofluids for Solar Collector Applications: A Review (2014, background): “Experimental investigation on Al2O3 nanofluids using water as base fluid was studied by various research groups and they concluded that the heat transfer coefficient in laminar flow [32-35] increases up to 12 to 15% and in the case of turbulent flow its ranges upto 8% [36,37].”
Heat transfer enhancement by using CuO/water nanofluid in corrugated tube equipped with twisted tape ☆ (2012, background): “As revealed in several research works [2–5] the effective conductivities of nanofluids are considerably enhanced as compared to those of their base fluids, leading to superior convective heat transfer coefficients.”
