Experimental investigation of nanofluids in laminar and turbulent developing flow in a pipe / Mohd Nidzomuddin Mohd Daud

A nanofluid in general is the suspensions of nanoparticles in a base fluid. The nanoparticles is very small with the particle size about 100 nanometers. Theoretically, the thermal conductivity of the base fluid has been improved with the addition of the nanoparticle. This is something very interesti...
