Al₂O₃–Cu / EG Hybrid Nanofluid
Mathematical Modelling — Fluid Dynamics & Heat TransferContinuum mechanics; boundary-layer similarity theory
An ethylene-glycol base fluid carrying a homogeneous mixture of alumina (Al₂O₃) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles.
Also known as:Al₂O₃–Cu/EG
Nanofluid
Dimension I
Definition
What it is — and what it is not
- What it is
- S1A suspension of two nanoparticle species — alumina (Al₂O₃) and copper (Cu) — in ethylene glycol, treated as a single homogeneous effective medium.
- Wisdoms
- S2Pairing a high-conductivity metal (Cu) with a stable oxide (Al₂O₃) aims to raise heat transfer beyond a single-particle nanofluid.
- Attributes
- S3Characterised by the particle volume fractions φ₁ (Al₂O₃) and φ₂ (Cu), with φ = φ₁ + φ₂ the total loading.
