Potential coolants for fuel cell application: Multi-objective optimization of thermophysical properties and PPF calculation of hybrid palm oil nanofluids

In this study, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is being used to optimize density, viscosity, and thermal conductivity in CuO-polyaniline/palm oil hybrid nanofluids. Using a Central Composite Design (CCD) within RSM, researchers are systematically exploring the impact of temperature (ranging from...
