Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advancement of science and technology, scientists have begun studying the mechanism of heat and mass transfer, which has important theoretical significance and practical application value due to its significant utility in energy production, its cooling in atomic reactors, its improvements to the biomedical field, etc. Nanofluids are considered more thermally efficient than conventional heat transfer fluids. It is a well-known fact that the suspension of nanoparticles in nanofluids depends on preparation and stability, shape and size, volume fraction, and temperature parameters, since the suspension of nanoparticles exemplifies an ideal and efficient heat transfer. This has intensified to increase the energy efficiency of the various types of heat exchange systems utilized in several physical, mechanical, and engineering applications. Nanosciences have achieved immense significance in both science and technology in today’s world.
Frequently, the addition of nanoparticles to a base fluid increases its heat transfer capabilities, but it can also impair the base fluid's flow capabilities. Consequently, it is essential to optimize thermophysical characteristics by incorporating nanomaterials. In this context, hybrid nanofluids are created by suspending various nanoparticle types or nanoparticle composites in base fluids. In light of this, the hybrid nanofluid increases the surface heat transfer rate relative to the nanofluid and simple fluid.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to compile a wide range of research regarding the heat and mass transfer rate of mano/hybrid nanofluid flow through various geometries. These discoveries include studies on the thermal conductivity of nanoparticles; the viscosity of nanofluids; the mathematical mechanisms of fluid dynamical problems; the implication of different numerical methods, such as the finite element method, RK shooting method, etc.; and the detection of algorithms, and it is necessary to rationalize the various aspects of the literature, providing a framework for future standards and applications.
