The effect of some metal oxide nanocomposites on the pulsating heat pipe performance

Increasing the performance of heat exchangers is one of industry’s most pressing challenges. Pulsating heat pipes (PHPs), as a novel technology with high-performance, are broadly used in solar distilled water and systems solar water heaters. In the present work, the impact of three nanofluids includ...
