Dynamic viscosity of Titania nanotubes dispersions in ethylene glycol/water-based nanofluids: Experimental evaluation and predictions from empirical correlation and artificial neural network

The emerging applications of nanofluids in heat transfer makes it imperative to study their viscous properties. The knowledge and assessment of physical properties with changes in concentration and temperature are essential for the practical applications of nanofluids. The first part of the current...
