Nano-refrigerants and Nano-lubricants: Fundamentals and Applications provides an overview of nano-refrigerants and nano-lubricants, their synthesis, characterization, and influence of nanoparticles on the thermophysical properties. The book also describes the theoretical modeling and correlations using artificial intelligence, along with the effect of all these parameters on potential applications. Future challenges and research directions are thoroughly addressed by authors. Nano-refrigerants and Nano-lubricants are a novel class of nanofluids containing a mixture of nanoparticles, lubricant, and refrigerant, and because of their enhanced heat transfer properties, they have a broad potential range of residential and commercial applications. - Summarizes preparation and characterization techniques for nano-refrigerants and nano-lubricants - Examines a selection of nanoparticles based on variation in thermophysical properties and includes theoretical models and correlations for predicting their properties - Features stability analysis of nano-refrigerants and nano-lubricants |
