Towards Nanofluids for Large-Scale Industrial Applications - by Bharat A Bhanvase & Divya Barai & Gawel Zyla & Zafar Said (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Nanofluids for Large-Scale Industrial Applications examines the challenges and current progress towards large-scale industrial application of nanofluids, summarizing and bringing together varied current research strands and providing potential solutions pertaining to the scientific, economic, and social barriers that currently exist.

Opening with an introduction to nanofluid synthesis, types, and properties, this book traverses the potential large-scale applications and commercialisation of nanofluids in industrial heating/cooling, solar energy systems, refrigeration systems, automotive systems, and various chemical processes and manufacturing systems.

This book provides knowledge of a vast area of applications of nanofluids in industries. Thus, it also has potential to encourage and trigger the minds of researchers to discover more about nanofluids, investigate the gaps, overcome the challenges, and provide future directions for newer applications and develop nanofluids further. The book is written chiefly for graduate/postdoc level students and researchers/academics teaching or studying in chemical and thermal engineering and who are focused on heat transfer enhancement, thermal energy, nanofluids, and nano-enhanced energy systems such as solar thermal systems.

Review Quotes

"...examines varied current research and challenges, and provides potential solutions pertaining to the scientific, economic and social barriers that currently exist toward large-scale industrial application of nanofluids. It traverses the potential large- scale applications and commercialisation of nanofluids in industrial heating/cooling, solar energy systems, refrigeration systems, and various chemical processes and manufacturing systems. It is a valuable resource for level students, researchers and academics related to the chemical and thermal engineering and/or focused on heat transfer enhancement, thermal energy etc." -- Asian Dyer, June-July 2025
