Experimental results of nanofluids flow effects on metal surfaces

Heat transfer augmentation in a tube using nanofluids under constant heat flux boundary condition: A review

“…Nanoparticles in nanofluids lead to corrosion and erosion or thermal equipments when exposed to a long time. Highest corrosion is seen in ZrO 2 andTiO 2 nanoparticles [95], while small amount of corrosion is seen at SiC nanoparticles. The research should be carried out to find non corrosive nanoparticles for longer life of thermal systems.…”

“…The agglomeration, size of nanoparticles and instability is a major problem for the researchers working with nanofluids [95]. This restricts the use of nanofluids to use in some applications like as solar water heating.…”

Performance analysis of a copper sheet laminated photovoltaic thermal collector using copper oxide – water nanofluid

“…Also, the effect of nanofluid flow impacting metallic surfaces strongly depends on the target material and on the nano-particle material. Nanofluid gave significant erosion in aluminum (Molina et al, 2014), compared to copper and negligible erosion for stainless steel (Celata et al, 2014). As a result, it can be concluded that any given nanofluid should be particularly tested before its adoption in a particular application as it can shorten the life of the components.…”

Comparison of erosion, corrosion and erosion–corrosion of carbon steel in fluid containing micro- and nanosize particles

“…[41][42][43][44] Celata et al 41 have examined the corrosion of copper, aluminium and stainless steel in water and nanofluids consisting of water, nanosize TiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , SiC, ZrO 2 and additives for preventing the agglomeration of the suspended nanoparticle. They found that the erosion of nanofluids varies depending on the type of metal.…”
