Studies on the convective heat transfer in Nanofluids

Researchers at SiliconTech’s Advanced Materials Lab is studying the mixing as well as other hydrodynamics and thermal effects associated with the Brownian motion in the nanofluid

The Brownian motion of the nanoparticles in nanofluid is one of the potential contributors to enhance effective thermal conductivity. The mechanisms that might contribute to this enhancement are the subject of considerable discussion and debate.

In the research, the mixing as well as other hydrodynamics and thermal effects associated with the Brownian motion in the nanofluid will be numerically studied.

The numerical approaches are the CAD design of the numerical model and the study of heat transfer analysis.
