Synopsis

In the recent decades, efficiency enhancement of refineries and chemical plants has been become a focus of research and development groups. Use of nanofluids in absorption, regeneration, liquid-liquid extraction and membrane processes can lead to mass transfer and heat transfer enhancement in processes which results in an increased efficiency in all these processes. Nanofluids and Mass Transfer introduces the role of nanofluids in improving mass transfer phenomena and expressing their characteristics and properties. The book also covers the theory and modelling procedures in details and finally illustrates various applications of Nanofluids in mass transfer enhancement in various processes such as absorption, regeneration, liquid-liquid extraction and membrane processes and how can nanofluids increase mass transfer in processes.

• Introduces specifications of nanofluids and mechanisms of mass transfer enhancement by nanofluids in various mass transfer processes
• Discusses mass transfer enhancement in various mass transfer processes such as: absorption, regeneration, liquid-liquid extraction and membrane processes
• Offers modelling mass transfer and flow in nanofluids
• Challenges industrialization and scale up of nanofluids

His work also encompasses the application of advanced process technologies and emerging approaches to improve environmental performance and resource efficiency. Prof. Rahimpour has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and has extensive experience in academic research, scientific leadership, and the development of international reference works in chemical engineering, energy, and sustainable technologies.

Dr. Mohammad Amin Makarem is an Adjunct Lecturer at the School of Engineering, Taylor’s University, Malaysia. He holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Shiraz University, Iran. His research covers gas separation and purification, green energy, nanofluids, microfluidics, and catalyst synthesis. Beyond research, he has extensive experience as an editor and contributor to academic publishing, serving as Editor or Co-editor for many books, book series, and major reference works from leading academic publishers. His editorial work spans topics such as carbon capture and storage, bioenergy, greenhouse gases, hydrotreating, oily wastewater, chemical industry crises, hydrogen and methanol energy production, homogeneous catalysis, synthesis gas, natural gas, and renewable energy systems. He recently served as series editor for Advances in Biotechnology: Methods, Applications, and Case Studies and has reviewed manuscripts for prominent international journals, helping guide researchers and industry through high-impact resources.

Mohammad Reza Kiani is a research associate at the University of Tehran. He started his research with writing a book chapter about aquatic water and water treatment. He is working on CO2 absorption in micro channels and specifications of microfluidic and nanofluidic systems. His research interests are modelling and experimental investigations about novel methods of CO2 capture. Besides, he has collaborated with other researchers in Shiraz University in writing new book chapters and books from Elsevier.

Dr. Mohammad Amin Sedghamiz is a research associate at Shiraz University since 2018. He started his Ph.D. at Shiraz University, in 2012, with a focus on environmental aspects of energy production from the waste materials. During the Ph.D. level, he has emphasized novel solvents in Chemical Engineering applications, e.g., he investigated the application and efficiency of Ionic Liquids to absorb acid gases at different conditions. During this project, the first idea for utilizing the next generation of the Ionic liquids, i.e., Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES), erupted in his mind and has continued this idea, thermodynamic research group. Besides the research mentioned earlier, Dr. Sedghamiz was also a research associate in four different industrial and academic research projects collaborating with industrial professions and academic teams, e.g., south pars gas company, national Iranian oil company, etc.
