Researchers often enhance thermal performance using either passive or active methods, or sometimes both. An approach to improving thermal performance is using nanofluids instead of conventional fluids because of their superior thermophysical properties. This article provides a comprehensive review of the double-tube heat exchanger (DTHX) using CuO nanofluid in its various configurations. Additionally, this article presents all the mathematical equations and correlations necessary for evaluating the parameters of a DTHX, both in the case of parallel and counterflow scenarios. This article also provides a comprehensive overview of nanofluids, their preparation methods, their thermophysical property calculations, and the factors that influence their performance. The review showed that CuO nanofluid is very good at improving heat transfer of the DTHX. The improvement is even better when it is used with other methods of improvement, like twisted tapes, even though the pressure drop goes up because of friction with the tube's surface. Finally, under similar conditions, CuO nanofluid clearly outperforms most oxide-based nanofluids. This improvement can reduce power consumption and reduce the DTHX size.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36919,"journal":{"name":"Results in Engineering","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 103227"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142571401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These attributes render soils prone to the adverse consequences of erosion, which can have far-reaching implications for the environment, infrastructure, and human settlements. In order to counteract the detrimental effects of erosion, a range of engineering strategies have been devised, with the most innovative and sustainable approach being the microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) technique. This review article investigates past studies on the MICP technique as a potential sustainable stabilization method for controlling different kinds of erosion, including wind erosion, rainfall erosion, coastal erosion, internal erosion, and jet erosion. This comprehensive review first examines the various factors that affect the MICP method in controlling soil erosion, underscoring the significance of integrating supplementary chemical, mechanical, and ecological approaches with this biomediated approach. The study then delves into the effectiveness of the MICP method for erosion mitigation through an in-depth discussion of real-world applications and the durability of MICP-treated soils under harsh climatic conditions, such as freeze-thaw and wet-dry cycles. In addition, the study also highlights the existing limitations and challenges associated with stabilizing erosive soils using the MICP technique, including environmental and economic aspects. By identifying these limitations, the review sets the stage for future research opportunities to overcome the current barriers and further advance the application of MICP for effective soil erosion mitigation. The current research contributes to advancing MICP as an effective and sustainable solution for soil erosion control.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36919,"journal":{"name":"Results in Engineering","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 103235"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142554206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
