| Description | Nanoscale fluid dynamics (NFD) as defined in this chapter is the study of the motion of nanosized particles (NPs) that are suspended in an external liquid medium. Such a suspension is often referred to as a nanofluid. The liquid medium itself may be Newtonian or non-Newtonian, static or flowing under the influence of an external pressure gradient, unbounded or confined in a tube-like vessel. In addition, there may be temperature gradients in the medium which may cause heat transport in addition to the mass transfer. The nanosize is typically in the range of 1–100 nanometer (nm) and would correspond with, for example, the diameter of a spherical NP. NPs with diameters in the range of 2–10 nm are classified as quantum dots, and these will not be discussed in this chapter. The NPs may be of various shapes, while the spherical NP is among the most commonly studied in the literature. The shapes considered in this chapter will be restricted to those of spheres, spheroids, and ellipsoids. Book Name: 21st Century Nanoscience – A Handbook |
