Opening with an introduction to nanofluid synthesis, types, and properties, this book traverses the potential large-scale applications and commercialisation of nanofluids in industrial heating/cooling, solar energy systems, refrigeration systems, automotive systems, and various chemical processes and manufacturing systems.
This book provides knowledge of a vast area of applications of nanofluids in industries. Thus, it also has potential to encourage and trigger the minds of researchers to discover more about nanofluids, investigate the gaps, overcome the challenges, and provide future directions for newer applications and develop nanofluids further. The book is written chiefly for graduate/postdoc level students and researchers/academics teaching or studying in chemical and thermal engineering and who are focused on heat transfer enhancement, thermal energy, nanofluids, and nano-enhanced energy systems such as solar thermal systems.
- Examines the challenges and current progress towards implementing large-scale industrial application of nanofluids
- Addresses current gaps in research, explores challenges and controversies as well as weaknesses and strengths versus alternative solutions
- Aims to bridge the gap between fundamental research and potential industrial-scale utilization in the future by providing pathways towards convenient and sustainable scale-up
- Meets a need to compile all current information and knowledge from studies and research related to large-scale nanofluids applications in one single resource
