Heat Transfer Behaviour of CuO Based Nanofluids

Heat Transfer Behaviour of CuO Based Nanofluids presents a comprehensive and systematic study of copper oxide (CuO) nanofluids for advanced thermal management applications. The book integrates fundamental heat transfer principles with nanoparticle science, fluid mechanics, thermo-physical property evaluation, and stability analysis. It explores synthesis techniques, preparation methods, and characterization of CuO nanoparticles, followed by detailed investigation of thermal conductivity, viscosity, and rheological behavior under varying temperature and concentration conditions. The work further examines enhancement mechanisms, pumping power requirements, numerical modeling, and CFD simulations. Practical applications in electronics cooling, heat exchangers, automotive systems, and solar thermal technologies are discussed alongside energy efficiency and sustainability assessments. The book also addresses industrial challenges, scalability issues, and emerging trends such as hybrid nanofluids and AI-driven optimization, making it a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and postgraduate students.
