• closedAccess   Effects of Carbon Nanohorn Based Nanofluids Pool Boiling on Optical Properties and Wettability of Different Metal Surfaces 

      Gimeno Furió, Alexandra; Hernandez, Leonor; Barison, Simona; Agresti, Filippo; BOTTARO, GREGORIO; Cabaleiro, David; Doretti, Luca; mancin, simone Taylor & Francis (2020-09-16)
      Oxidized carbon nanohorn water based nanofluids are attracting more and more attention for solar harvesting applications because of their peculiar features: stable suspension without any surfactant, higher solar absorbance ...
    • openAccess   Optical characterisation of oxidised carbon nanohorn nanofluids for direct solar energy absorption applications 

      Gimeno Furió, Alexandra; Hernandez, Leonor; Barison, Simona; Agresti, Filippo; Cabaleiro, David; mancin, simone Elsevier (2019-10-31)
      Carbon nanohorns and oxidised carbon nanohorns-based nanofluids were characterised by taking one step forward. The advantage of studying oxidised carbon nanohorns is that they are surfactant-free. The stability of both ...
    • closedAccess   Photothermal properties and performance of hybrid carbon-paraffin/water emulsions 

      Burgos Rodríguez, Jorge; Mondragon, Rosa; Martinez Cuenca, Raul; Udayashankar, Nithiyanantham; Barison, Simona; mancin, simone; Fabregat-Santiago, Francisco; Hernandez, Leonor Elsevier (2023-10-09)
      Solar thermal energy has attracted renewed research interest for its excellent energy efficiency among different types of solar technologies. However, the limiting factor of them all is the intermittent nature of solar ...
    • openAccess   The contact angle of nanofluids as thermophysical property 

      Hernaiz, M.; Alonso, V.; estellé, patrice; Wu, Z.; Sundén, B.; Doretti, L.; mancin, simone; Çobanoğlu, Nur; Karadeniz, Ziya Haktan; Garmendia, N.; Lasheras-Zubiate, L.; Hernandez, Leonor; Mondragon, Rosa; Martinez Cuenca, Raul; Barison, Simona; Kujawska, A.; Turgut, A.; Amigo, A.; HUMINIC, Gabriela; Huminic, Angel; Kalus, M.-R.; Schroth, K.-G.; Buschmann, Matthias Elsevier (2019-07-01)
      Droplet volume and temperature affect contact angle significantly. Phase change heat transfer processes of nanofluids – suspensions containing nanometre-sized particles – can only be modelled properly by understanding these ...
