Principal subjects / occupational skills covered

Erasmus student – experimental thesis research on

 “ Diffusive and convective contributions in heat and mass- transfer in nanoparticles suspensions”

Aim of this research has been the investigation of the convection and diffusion in mass and heat transfer of nanofluids. Nanofluids are colloidal (fibre or solid) suspensions of nanoparticles in a base fluid; these substances are the object of intense international researches for their anomalous thermal behaviour.

The study will help to understand:

• the mechanism of  diffusion mass and the kinetics of nano-particles when they are immersed in a liquid system;
•  the combined effects of thermal conductivity and viscosity in the heat  transfer process.
