Microwave irradiation based non-chemical method to manipulate surface tension of nanofluids

Manipulation of the surface tension is one of the key pathways to enhance heat and mass transfer performances of nanofluids in thermal systems. Current practices and existing literature on the surface tension reduction indicate that surfactant is usually employed as a chemical-additive to manipulate...
