“…For example, ferroelectric materials smaller than 10 nm can switch their magnetization direction using room temperature thermal energy, thus making them unsuitable for memory storage. Thus, this property is not always desired in nanoparticles [19][20].…”

Over the past few years, the evolution of nanotechnology has extended into a wide range of applications. Nanotechnology has now become a multidisciplinary science that applies to electronics, materials science, biomedical engineering, microbiology, etc. Recently, nanotechnology is being used in biomedical and pharmaceutical science. Among them drug delivery is set to spread rapidly. Application of nanotechnology in health sector also created a potential impact such as in the fields of immunology, cardiology, endocrinology, ophthalmology, and oncology. Nanoparticles are unique because of their large surface area and it has the potential to change the properties of a bulk number of materials. The surface of nanoparticles can be modified with the help of various polymers, organic and inorganic substances according to the specific application and their use. Nanoparticles are also utilized as nano shells in drug delivery systems and cancer therapy. Nano shells can recognize the cancer cells when they are injected into the cancer area. The heat generated by the light absorbing nano shells due to the application of the near infrared light successfully kills tumour cells leaving the noncarcinogenic cells intact. In this review article, nanoparticles, the health implication of nanoparticles and their synthesis are discussed.

“…Simultaneously, hydraulic fractures and the associated reservoir volume (SRV) from induced fractures assume a basic job in essentially expanding the efficiency. A mathematical model was developed by An et al [62,63] for magnetic nanoparticle transport in shale reservoirs by considering both micro and macro phenomena. The model used the principles of Darcy's law, Brownian diffusion, gas diffusion and desorption, slippage flow and capillary effects in the reservoir of micro to nanopores and extremely low permeability.…”

“…These continuum equations are also discretized in space using the integral finite difference method. Numerical examples performed in the work are based on an isothermal environment which means the heat transfer and the loss are considered to be negligible, so the heat transfer and loss are neglected [62,63]. The authors have built both micro models, and both the macro models and numerical simulations are performed for the models by considering the organic matter randomly distributed within the inorganic matrix.…”

In the last two decades, nanotechnology has flourished due to its vast number of applications in many fields such as drug delivery, oil and gas, and thermal applications, like cooling and air-conditioning. This study focuses on the applications of nanoparticles/nanofluids in the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) process to increase oil recovery efficiency. To understand the nanoparticle-assisted EOR process, the first step is to understand the flow characteristics of nanoparticles in porous media, including entrapment and release in the pores and the behavior of nanoparticles under high temperatures, pressures, and salinity levels and in the presence of external electric and magnetic fields. Also, the process looks at the roles of various pore distributions during their application as EOR agents. The experimental approaches are not only time consuming, but they are also cumbersome and expensive. Hence, the mathematical models could help to facilitate the understanding of the transport and interaction of nanofluids in a reservoir and how such processes can be optimized to get maximum oil recovery and, in turn, reduce the production cost. This paper reviews and critically analyzes the latest developments in mathematical modeling and simulation techniques that have been reported for nanofluid-assisted EOR. One section is dedicated to discussing the challenges ahead, as well as the research gaps in the modeling approach to help the readers to also contribute to further enlightening the modeling nanofluid-assisted EOR process.

“…Note that as the test problems of this work, the above simple model serves our purpose for assessing issues regarding numerical algorithm for solving flow/transport problem in anisotropic porous media with fractures using parallel processing. In future work we will assess similar problems on yet more complicated example, such as nanoparticle transport in shale reservoirs ( [21]), which involves two-phase (aqueous and gaseous) flow. Furthermore, this work can be extend 3D flow/transport problems ( [22]).…”
