Use of nanofluids in absorption, regeneration, liquid-liquid extraction and membrane processes can lead to mass transfer and heat transfer enhancement in processes which results in an increased efficiency in all these processes. Nanofluids and Mass Transfer introduces the role of nanofluids in improving mass transfer phenomena and expressing their characteristics and properties. The book also covers the theory and modelling procedures in details and finally illustrates various applications of Nanofluids in mass transfer enhancement in various processes such as absorption, regeneration, liquid-liquid extraction and membrane processes and how can nanofluids increase mass transfer in processes.
- Introduces specifications of nanofluids and mechanisms of mass transfer enhancement by nanofluids in various mass transfer processes
- Discusses mass transfer enhancement in various mass transfer processes such as: absorption, regeneration, liquid-liquid extraction and membrane processes
- Offers modelling mass transfer and flow in nanofluids
- Challenges industrialization and scale up of nanofluids

Mohammad Amin Sedghamiz
Dr. Mohammad Amin Sedghamiz is a research associate at Shiraz University since 2018. He started his Ph.D. at Shiraz University, in 2012, with a focus on environmental aspects of energy production from the waste materials. During the Ph.D. level, he has emphasized novel solvents in Chemical Engineering applications, e.g., he investigated the application and efficiency of Ionic Liquids to absorb acid gases at different conditions. During this project, the first idea for utilizing the next generation of the Ionic liquids, i.e., Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES), erupted in his mind and has continued this idea, thermodynamic research group.
