Stability, thermophysical properties, forced convective heat transfer, entropy minimization and exergy performance of a novel hybrid nanofluid: Experimental study

This research explores how incorporating graphene oxide (GO) into red mud (RM) creates a superior nanomaterial for heat transfer applications. RM's inherent stability and thermal conductivity (TC), stemming from its metal oxide composition, are further amplified by this hybrid nano-composite. T...
