Nanofluid Applications for Advanced Thermal Solutions covers heat transfer applications of nanofluids in a variety of fields and the main techniques used in nanofluid flow and heat transfer analysis. The book features an introduction to heat transfer, nanofluid conduction, convection and nanofluid boiling and provides a thorough understanding of a variety of applications, including the energy storage component of solar PVT systems. It covers fundamental topics such as the analysis and measurement of thermophysical properties, convection, and heat transfer equipment performance, and provides a rigorous framework to assist readers in developing new nanofluid-based devices.
Finally, the book explores convective instabilities, nanofluids in porous media, and entropy generation in nanofluids. This will be a valuable resource for upper undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students and researchers in the fields of nanotechnology and nanofluids looking at heat transfer processes in chemical engineering and the petroleum industry.

Mohsen Sharifpur Professor, Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, University of Pretoria, South Africa. Mohsen Sharifpur is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, University of Pretoria, South Africa. He is the establisher and Head of Nanofluid Research Laboratory. His research includes mathematical modelling, thermal fluid behaviour and stability of nanofluids, improvement of heat transfer by nanofluids, convective multiphase flow, computational fluid dynamics, and Fluid Dynamics from Nanoscale to Universe scale. He is an innovative thinker and, based on fluid dynamics, constructal law, nature and patterns in nature, and cosmology data, he invented a new general and multidiscipline theory as "Source and Sink Theory�. His general-multidiscipline theory has the potential to describe the early universe better than previous theories, and the link to the online article is https://dx.doi.org/10.22606/tp.2020.51001. He believes his theory is the case for the future. He has published more than 300 articles, conference papers and book chapters, and has been supervised more than 30 research masters and PhD students, as well as postdoctoral researchers.
