The hybrid nanofluids are new, high value working fluids that are considered potential candidates for multiple applications. Composite or hybrid nanofluids are being developed as a new class of nanofluids synthesized by two or more nanoparticles containing a metal oxide or metal, or combination of both particles in the base fluid. The manufacturing process is an essential step for nanocomposites to further increase the thermal conductivity of heat transport fluids. The thermophysical characteristics of hybrid nanofluids, especially thermal conductivity, show promising improvements compared to mono nanofluids. Some studies have been investigated on the viscosity and thermal conductivity of hybrid nanofluids, but studies on other properties such as thermal diffusivity, specific heat, density, and magnetic properties are scarce.
The quantity of research on this topic is enormous and is currently evolving. Therefore, it is our hope to collect and provide state-of-the-art articles covering hybrid nanofluids, heat transfer properties and magnetic nanoparticles. This collection is expected to show readers current research while offering new ideas for improving heat transfer process and systems made from hybrid nanofluids.
The purpose of this Research Topic is to address promising, current, and new research trends in the development and application of hybrid nanofluids. The scope of this Research Topic include, but are not limited to:
• Advances in hybrid nanofluids
• New hybrid nanomaterials
• Applications of heat transfer
• Emerging trends of hybrid nanofluids.
