Abstract
This review examines nanofluid viscosity research (2013-2023) by analyzing 5261 articles to identify the best in the field and provide a path for the future of the field. The findings show that the publication of articles has been on an upward trend, indicating the importance of this field in the industry. Physics and astronomy, engineering, and chemical engineering were the most widely used subject areas. Prominent researchers such as Hemmat Esfe, Toghraei, and Sheikholesalami have played the most prominent roles in this research. India, Iran, and China are at the top of the field of carbon nanotube viscosity, respectively, with the highest number of published documents. Saudi Arabia and Egypt have led the way in intercontinental collaborations with 80 international collaborations. The Journal of Molecular Fluids (253 articles) and the Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer (13,153 citations) were identified as the top journals in this field. The most frequently used keywords included nanofluids, viscosity, and rheological behavior. This study provides guidance for researchers and policymakers for future research.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
