2. 1. Engineering Nanofluids for Heat Transfer Applications

   Author : Nader Nikkam; Toprak Muhammet; Mamoun Muhammed; Yulong Ding; KTH; []
   Keywords : nanofluid; thermal conductivity; viscosity; heat transfer; heat transfer coefficient; HTC; SiC nanoparticles; Cu nanoparticles; mesoporous silica; CNT; microwave synthesis; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Nanofluids (NFs) are nanotechnology-based colloidal dispersion prepared by dispersing nanoparticles (NPs) in conventional liquids, as the base liquid. These advanced fluids have displayed potential to enhance the performance of conventional heat transfer fluids. READ MORE

4. 2. On Heat and Paper : From Hot Pressing to Impulse Technology

   Author : Marco Francesco Carlo Lucisano; KTH; []
   Keywords : Paper; Impulse Drying; Heat Transfer; Phase Change; Heat-Pipe Effect; Delamination; Flashing;

   Abstract : Impulse technology is a process in which water is removedfrom a wet paper web by the combined action of mechanicalpressure and intense heat. This results in increased dewateringrates, increased smoothness on the roll side of the sheet, andincreased density. READ MORE

5. 3. Single Phase Convective Heat Transfer with Nanofluids : An Experimental Approach

   Author : Ehsan Bitaraf Hgahighi; Björn E. Palm; Elena V. Timofeeva; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nanofluid; convective heat transfer; thermal conductivity; viscosity; heat transfer coefficient; performance; pumping power; Reynolds number; shelf stability;

   Abstract : Nanofluids (NFs) are engineered colloids of nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed homogenously within base fluids (BFs). Due to the presence of NPs, the thermophysical and transport properties of BFs are subject to change. READ MORE

6. 4. Investigation of Thermal Performance of Cylindrical Heatpipes Operated with Nanofluids

   Author : Morteza Ghanbarpourgeravi; Rahmatollah Khodabandeh; Björn Palm; Oronzio Manca; KTH; []
   Keywords : Nanofluid; heat pipe; thermal resistance; heat transfer coefficient; evaporator; condenser; wick; porous layer; heat flux; inclination angle; thermal conductivity; viscosity; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Abstract : Nanofluids as an innovative class of heat transfer fluids created by dispersing nanometre-sizedmetallic or non-metallic particles in conventional heat transfer fluids displayed the potential toimprove the thermophysical properties of the heat transfer fluids. The main purpose of this study is toinvestigate the influence of the use of nanofluids on two-phase heat transfer, particularly on thethermal performance of the heat pipes. READ MORE

7. 5. Determination of the thermal conductivity of the insulation in district heating mains : Field measurements

   Author : Karin Margaretha Borgström; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; district heating main; field measurements; thermal conductivity; measuring method; heat flow measurement; heat flux sensor; Material physics with surface physics; Materialfysik med ytfysik;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns the development of a measurement method for determination in the field of the thermal conductivity of the insulation in buried district heating mains. The thermal conductivity of the insulation is calculated from the measured value of the radial heat flow through the heating main, the measured temperature difference across the insulation, and the dimensions of the heating main.
