The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.5 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00018 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.11 SJR: 0.286 SNIP: 1.032 CiteScore™:: 1.6 H-Index: 10

ABSTRACT

Viscosity and shear stress are the important rheological properties for nanofluids as they significantly affect the flow and heat transfer process. The rheology of the water-based nanofluid has been well studied, although the results are scarce for non-aqueous nanofluids. This study reports the rheology properties of three different oxide nanofluids (Cu2O, CuO, and TiO2) in methanol, a typical non-aqueous base liquid, at different mass fractions and temperatures. The methanol-based oxide nanofluids behaved as non-Newtonian fluids with a shear shining phenomenon. The effect of high temperature on rheology resulted in low viscosity and shear stress. The higher the temperature, the lower the viscosity and shear stress. The particle type caused increase of both shear stress and viscosity, with a decreasing order of CuO > Cu2O > TiO2. Our experimental results were then fitted and compared to various empirical models. The Ostwald-de-Waele correlation fit our experimental results for three different kinds of oxide nanofluids quite well, especially for TiO2.
