..., experiments were conducted to investigate the efficacy of dielectric nanoparticles, namely, alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) and titanium oxide (TiO 2 ) during the MWATH of nanoparticle-infused tumor phantoms. A deep-seated tumor injected with nanoparticle solution was specifically mimicked in the experiments. Interesting...

...Prabhakar Zainith; Niraj Kumar Mishra This paper presents a numerical investigation on heat transfer and flow behavior for non-Newtonian nanofluids with different nanoparticles (Al 2 O 3 and CuO) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with water as a base fluid. The analysis has been carried out...

... of a semicircle-corrugated channel is investigated and examined, as well as different types of nanofluids on thermal and hydraulic performance in the Reynolds number range from 10,000 to 30,000. With respect to the fluid medium, four kinds of nanoparticles Al 2 O 3 , CuO, SiO 2 , and ZnO are used and investigated...

..., and nanoparticles. The objective of this study is to investigate the thermal performance of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) dispersed in small quantities in 1-tetradecanol (C 14 H 30 O) PCM. This nano-enhanced PCM (NPCM) is placed in the annular space of a shell and tube in a solar thermal storage unit. The numerical...
