Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Particle size has an important role in the performance enhancement of every process a material is subjected to. especially, the strengthening of electrical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics predominantly relies on the involvement of nanoparticles. since research societies have been focused on solving many kinds of complicated applications, the methodologies for successfully handling such complexity have evolved everywhere. one of the methodologies to fulfill most of the complicated applications in an effective manner is nanotechnology. huge facilities have been developed both experimentally and computationally in order to investigate the compositional conjunctions between nanoparticles and their major positive achievements. thus, this special issue has been formed and thereby solicits research works from research groups in nano-engineering.

this special issue provides a platform for the collection of the eminent innovations relevant to nanotechnologies. the focused applications of this special issue on nanoparticles include aerospace, automotive, medical, marine, and thermal applications. the current special issue is open to contributions in the form of manuscripts, communications, and reviews from materials scientists, chemists, physicists, and bioengineers from academia and industry, working in different fields where nanoparticles have a great impact on the final outcome.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. Mechanical characteristics studies on nanoparticles under different loading conditions (impact loads, fatigue loads, creep loads, etc.).
  2. Thermal characteristics studies on nanoparticles under various kinds of heat-transfer processes.
  3. Investigations of energy extraction through nanoparticles.
  4. Investigations of the formation and representation of various nanofluids and their advantages.
  5. Implementations of various advanced computational facilities (fluid–structure interactions, fluid–thermal interactions, etc.) in order to analyze the behavioral impacts of various nanoparticles.

The performance of water as a heat transfer medium in numerous applications is limited by its effective thermal conductivity. To improve the thermal conductivity of water, herein, we report the development and thermophysical characterization of novel metal-metal-oxide-carbon-based ternary-hybrid nanoparticles (THNp) GO-TiO2-Ag and rGO-TiO2-Ag. The results indicate that the graphene oxide- and reduced graphene oxide-based ternary-hybrid nanoparticles dispersed in water enhance the base fluid (H2O) thermal conductivity by 66% and 83%, respectively, even at very low concentrations. Mechanisms contributing to this significant enhancement are discussed. The experimental thermal conductivity is plotted against the existing empirical hybrid thermal conductivity correlations. We found that those correlations are not suitable for the metal-metal-oxide-carbon combinations, calling for new thermal conductivity models. Furthermore, the rheological measurements of the nanofluids display non-Newtonian behavior, and the viscosity reduces with the increase in temperature. Such behavior is possibly due to the non-uniform shapes of the ternary-hybrid nanoparticles. Full article

Nanofluids receive recognition from researchers and scientists because of their high thermal transfer rates. They have impactful industrial and technological modules in daily activities. In recent times, the heat transfer rate has been strengthened even more by a certain type of nanofluid known as “carbon nanotubes”. The water-based magnetohydrodynamic flow with the nanoparticles MWCNT and SWCNT over an axially rotating stretching disk is highlighted in this article. In addition, the perspectives of viscous dissipation and MHD were taken into consideration. In order to formulate the physical problem, Xue’s model is considered with the thermophysical properties and characteristics of carbon nanofluid. The current modeled system of partial differential equations is transformed into an ordinary differential equation system by the suggesting of the best similarity technique. Later, the transformed system of ordinary differential equations is solved numerically by using the Keller box method and the shooting method. Figures and charts are used to study and elaborate the physical behavior of the key subjective flow field parameters. The saturation in the base fluid is considered in both kinds of carbon nanotubes, the single-wall (SWCNTs) and the multiwall (MWCNTs). It is noted that the heat transfer mechanism shows some delaying behavior due to the increase in the Eckert number and the volume fraction elevation values. For the larger volume fraction values and the magnetic parameter, the skin friction increases. In addition, while the temperature profile increases with the Biot numbers, it falls for the increasing values of the Prandtl number. Furthermore, it is noted that the irreversibility of the thermal energy is influenced by the Biot number, temperature difference, Brinkmann number, and magnetic field, which all have dynamic effects on the entropy and the Bejan number.
