Applications of Nano-Fluids in the Various Engineering Fields

Abstract

In this chapter, nano-fluids are a type of fluid with suspended nano-sized particles that are useful in various fields, such as manufacturing, medical, 3D printing, tissue engineering, and fluid effects. Nano-fluids can be used as coolants and lubricants to improve machining accuracy and reduce tool wear, as well as additives in coatings and adhesives. Nano-fluids can be used as printing inks to create intricate and precise structures and enhance their properties. Nano-fluids can improve drug delivery and enhance visibility of tissues and organs. Nano-fluids are manufactured using two-phase and one-phase methods, involving the dispersion of nanoparticles in a base fluid.
