Enhanced Heat Transfer Mechanism of Nanofluids Minimum Lubrication Grinding

Abstract

This chapter will discuss in detail the various aspects of nanofluids, form preparation of nanofluids, characterization and flow and energy transportation mechanisms of nanofluids. Preparation of nanofluids has been performed using various methods where one step and two step methods are widely known. These methods are discussed in detail for various nanoparticles with stabilizing agents for stable production of nanofluids. Further, the characterization techniques of various aspects of nanofluds including thermal conductivity and factors influencing the thermal conductivity of nanofluids are introduced in depth. The chapter also sheds light on the experimental analysis of flow and heat transfer of naofluids, natural convection analysis of naofluids, and boiling heat transfer of nanofluids.
