This PhD thesis presents the latest research findings on nanofluid wetting kinetics, which has wide applications in nano/microscale processes and devices. It analyzes complex dynamic wetting by nanofluids using both experiments and multi-scale simulation methods, and presents multiscale (from nano to macroscale) mechanisms and tunable methods to elucidate and control nanofluid dynamic wetting. The book is of interest to university researchers, R&D engineers and graduate students in surface science, materials science and thermal engineering.
Introduction -- Experimental study on the nanofluid dynamic wetting -- Local dissipation in nanofluid dynamic wetting: effects of structural disjoining pressure -- Bulk dissipation in nanofluid dynamic wetting: wettability-related parameters -- Mesoscopic studies of nanofluid dynamic wetting: from nanoscale to macroscale -- Nanofluid dynamic wetting with external thermal fields -- Conclusions and Prospects.
