“…Ahmadlouydarab et al [181] investigated the thermal absorption ability and the overall thermal efficiency of a flat plate collector using TiO 2 -water nanofluids as an agent fluid in the outer part of the absorber of a flat plate collector. In this design, the nanofluids act as thermal insulation by utilising the high thermal capacity of these fluids.…”

The field of nanofluids has received interesting attention since the concept of dispersing nanoscaled particles into a fluid was first introduced in the later part of the twentieth century. This is evident from the increased number of studies related to nanofluids published annually. The increasing attention on nanofluids is primarily due to their enhanced thermophysical properties and their ability to be incorporated into a wide range of thermal applications ranging from enhancing the effectiveness of heat exchangers used in industries to solar energy harvesting for renewable energy production. Owing to the increasing number of studies relating to nanofluids, there is a need for a holistic review of the progress and steps taken in 2019 concerning their application in heat transfer devices. This review takes a retrospective look at the year 2019 by reviewing the progress made in the area of nanofluids preparation and the applications of nanofluids in various heat transfer devices such as solar collectors, heat exchangers, refrigeration systems, radiators, thermal storage systems and electronic cooling. This review aims to update readers on recent progress while also highlighting the challenges and future of nanofluids as the next-generation heat transfer fluids. Finally, a conclusion on the merits and demerits of nanofluids is presented along with recommendations for future studies that would mobilise the rapid commercialisation of nanofluids.

“…As a result of the studies, determined that the collector productivity increased up to 57.1%. Ahmadlouydarab et al [61] have made efforts to increase productivity for public use by making a change in the laboratory scale on flat plate solar collector structure. For this purpose, a nanofluid containing TiO2 particles was used as working fluid in FPSC.…”

The importance of using solar energy, one of the renewable energy sources, has started to be understood more recently. The negative environmental effects and limited amounts of fossil fuels have led to increased demand for renewable energy sources worldwide and the production of various models and devices has accelerated to take advantage of solar energy, which is the basis of all energy sources. Using solar collectors as a way to benefit from solar energy has been used for many years. Although solar collectors are generally divided into 4 types as flat plate (FPSC), evacuated tube (ETSC), parabolic (PSC) and heat pipe (HPSC), these types can also be divided into separate types with many different features. The most commonly used solar collector type in the world is Flat Plate Solar Collector. The most important reasons for this are being cheap, easily produced and applied in various ways. Yet, the thermal productivity of FPSCs decreases below 40% in non-ideal climate conditions with low surrounding temperature. The existence of such disadvantages of FPSCs led to the production of Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors. With the advancing technology, the utilization of heat pipes in collectors has come to the agenda and as a result of the studies conducted, it has been determined that the use of heat pipe improves efficiency. In addition, the use of nanofluids in solar collectors and heat pipes has become quite common, and many studies have been carried out especially on this subject recently. The primary objective is always to improve the performance of the system and achieve efficiency. In this way, solar energy will be used in the most effective way and world energy supply demand will be met by using renewable resources.

“…In addition, emerging engineering materials (e.g., the phase change materials) have been used in most common engineering applications such as thermal energy storage and thermal comfort in modern buildings for the purpose of cost saving and eliminating the air pollution (Laraib Tariq et al 2020). Similarly, nanofluids (Ahmadlouydarab, Ebadolahzadeh, and Ali 2020;Ahmadi et al 2020) and air cooling technique (Murugan et al 2020) have been also proposed and adopted to improve the performance of buildings. Notwithstanding, an increasing number of projects in the construction industry have failed and the construction industry needs to struggle to achieve project success (Khlaifat et al 2019).…”

Adopting the Stimulus-Organism-Response paradigm, this paper investigates how relationship-related factors (asymmetric dependence and trust) and process-related factors (communication and coordination) influence project success. Data gathered from 173 respondents with electronic questionnaire were analyzed by Smart-PLS 3.0 software and PROCESS. The results demonstrate that project success is influenced by the relationship-related factors (asymmetric dependence and trust) between partners. Project-related factors, namely communication and coordination make the mechanism of project success more complicated. Moreover, the configuration of project control rights does not moderate the relationships among the relationship-related factors, process-related factors and project success. These findings contribute to the literature by showing the factors leading to project success and extend the literature in the domain of construction project management by presenting a Stimulus-Organism-Response paradigm and multiple serial meditations.
