ICNf 2019 covers nanofluid aspects ranging in a wide field from basic research to real world industrial applications. Main topics include the following:
-Nanofluid materials (nanoparticles, nanoPCM, nanofluids, nanosalts, ionanofluids, etc.)
-Nanofluid preparation and characterization methods, (stability (physical and chemical effects), agglomeration, etc.)
-Nanofluid properties (thermophysical, optical, and magnetic properties)
-Heating, cooling, and refrigeration
-Phase change based heat transfer (boiling, surface coating, heat pipes, etc.)
-Storage of thermal energy
-Solar energy applications (specific black nanofluids, volumetric solar collectors, etc.)
-Numerical simulation on the microscopic and macroscopic levels
-Industrial applications
-Health, safety, and environmental issues
