Mechanistic understanding of thermo-osmosis at nano scale is linked with non-equilibrium thermodynamics the phenomenon. Fluid molecules boundary layers solid surfaces experience a driving force which generates thermo-osmotic flow.

Coolant plays important characteristic in automobile industry to prevent failure and damage by balancing the temperature. Due this approach, coolants are being used as new thermal fluid study heat transfer coefficient performance. This consists of an experimental investigation internal convective 50:50 Water-Ethylene Glycol based Nano-fluid through a copper tube 18mm external diameter 16.5mm te...

In order to improve the erosion capacity of a supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) jet, the influence of a nano-silica additive on the rock erosion characteristics was experimentally investigated. By impinging the SC-CO2 jets with nano-silica mass fractions of 0 wt % (pure SC-CO2 jet), 3 wt %, 6 wt %, 9 wt %, 12 wt %, 15 wt %, and 18 wt % on specimens of red sandstone, the erosion volumes unde...
