[ 1 ] - Lanthania Colloidal Nanoparticles: Hydrothermal Synthesis, Structural, and Rheological Properties

     In this work, for the first time, the rheological properties of nanofluids of lanthania nanoparticles (NPs) in ethylene glycol (EG) as functions of shear rate, volume fraction, and temperature were measured. The results showed that both EG and the nanofluids behave as non-Newtonian fluids at lower shear rates and transform to Newtonian fluids at higher shear rates. The values of viscosity ...

[ 2 ] - Nanofluids for Heat Transfer Enhancement – A Review

A nanofluid is a dilute liquid suspension of particles with at least one critical dimension smaller than ~100 nm. Research works so far suggest that nanofluids offer excellent heat transfer enhancement over conventional base fluids. The enhancement depends on several factors such as particle shape, particle size distribution, volume fraction of nanoparticles, temperature, pH, and thermal conduc...
