Simulation of electrical and thermal properties performance of mineral oil based nanofluids

Mineral oil is one of the most common oil that is being used for transformer insulation. They act as an insulator and heat dissipator in the system. Failure of transformer is a very is quite crucial as it is very costly to replace. Since it is under constant pressure of electrical stress and ageing,...
