Introducing nanotechnology into the thermal and fluids curricula: pool boiling heat transfer in nanofluids

摘要

Nanotechnology has generated a large amount of interest in recent years, especially among engineering educators. Our institution continues to be among the leading universities to offer undergraduate courses that involve students in experiential learning of nanoscience topics. This paper describes a new thermo-fluids laboratory module where engineering students undertake problem-based experiments with nanofluids. The equipment, process and student work and feedback for the laboratory module are presented.
