The effect of number of nanoparticles on atomic behavior and aggregation of CuO/water nanofluid flow in microchannels using molecular dynamics simulation
A nanofluid (NF) is a mixture of metallic or non-metallic nanoparticles (NPs) suspended in a fluid. The high activity and energy of the surface atoms of NPs cause them to stick together and aggregate in the base fluid (BF). This leads to instability, changes in the NF concentration, and fouling and...
