This study presents an experimental investigation of the thermophysical behavior γ-Al2O3–deionized (DI) H2O nanofluid under natural convection in classical Rayleigh–Benard configuration, which consists a cubic cell with conductive bottom and top plates, insulated sidewalls optical access. The presence nanoparticles either stationary liquids or flows affects physical properties host fluids as well mechanisms rate heat mass transfer. In present work, measurements transfer performance Al2O3–H2O...
Abstract Nanofluids are colloidal suspensions constituted of nanoparticles and typical heat transfer fluids which have shown potential in yielding enhanced transport for many applications. Significant attention has been paid to their thermal conductivity enhancement alleged, some cases, exceed theoretical limits classifying the as “anomalous”. The present study aims quantitatively investigate nature enhancements reported literature classify alignment with predictions. To do so, a rigorous...
