Thermo-Acoustics of Nanofluids and Transfer Processes

This book explains the physical principles and theoretical basis of acoustics of nanofluids with mathematical rigor, focusing on concepts and points of view that have proven effective in applications such as heat transfer, petroleum science and technology, wastewater treatment, food processing, and hydrogen production. It provides a rigorous framework to aid readers in building innovative nanofluid-based devices, covering essential topics such as the study and measurement of thermophysical characteristics, convection, and heat transfer equipment performance.

Features:

• Focuses on the basics of nanofluids, shedding light on the thermo-acoustic behavior
• Discusses the specific needs of a nanofluid for a process in terms of both heat and mass transfer
• Discusses the process transfer of nanofluids with reference to thermo-acoustics
• Discusses the numerical and experimental investigations of nanofluids used in various fields of industrial applications
• Reviews fundamentals and applied aspects of acoustic cavitation

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in fluid dynamics, nanotechnology, and chemical and mechanical engineering.
