Improvement of Heat Transfer by Using Porous Media, Nanofluid, and Fins: A Review

Abstract

The world's interest in energy and as a result of the urgent importance of that, researchers focused on the development of heat transfer to have a significant impact on the consumption of that energy. Where we note the great interest by researchers in developing heat transfer and using the best possible methods to improve heat transfer. In this literary review, a large group of research has been carried out to find out the importance of heat transfer and the methods used by researchers to develop heat transfer. Porous materials, nanomaterials and fins were used in the development of heat transfer. Where we note the importance of adding these materials (porous materials, nanomaterials and fins) to the original materials contribute significantly and clearly to improving heat transfer and this has a significant impact on energy consumption or trying to dissipate it, as we note the clear difference when using the original materials without adding these materials as the heat transfer is less and it consumes more time. Researchers can focus on the importance of improving heat transfer for its importance in many applications that have a direct impact on human life.
