Impact of thermophoresis on nanoparticle distribution in nanofluids

This research attempts to study the effects of particle migration on concentration distribution of the water-TiO2 nanofluid inside a circular tube. The scale analysis shows that thermophoresis can have an essential role on particle migration and consequently, on concentration distribution. Therefore...
