Abstract

Using a reaction-diffusion type equations for the thermal transfer, the dynamics of the nano-particle/liquid interface is analyzed. It results, by a finite differences method, thermal breather, thermal breather pair and thermal cluster type solutions. Through self-organizing of the interface, the thermal transfer in the nano-fluids increases. The model was verified by means of experimental data too..

Keywords
