Description
Revolutionizing Heat Transfer: Nanofluids, Turbulators, and Machine Learning for Sustainable Energy Efficiency bridges the knowledge gap between traditional heat transfer enhancement techniques and innovative approaches employing nanofluids and turbulators. Users will find this to be an all-inclusive resource on the latest advancements in nanofluids, turbulators, and machine learning techniques for heat transfer enhancement that also includes detailed guidance on the synthesis, characterization, design, and optimization of these technologies. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this book serves as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners working on heat transfer in energy applications and students studying related areas.
There is a growing need for this resource as it addresses both the limitations of current heat transfer techniques while also providing sustainable solutions for a wide range of engineering applications.

Person
Dr. Zafar Said is currently working as a Distinguished Associate Professor in the
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the United Arab Emirates
University, UAE. He received his doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering from
the University of Malaya, Malaysia, and completed his postdoctoral research at
Khalifa University, UAE. Dr. Said is a recognized leader in energy technology,
nanofluids, and sustainable energy. His major areas of interest include heat
transfer, solar energy systems, and advanced thermofluids. His research focuses on
battery thermal management, enhancement of solar collectors using nanofluids
and turbulators, and the development of stable nanorefrigerants and
nanolubricants. He also applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to
predict thermophysical properties and optimize energy systems. He is the recipient
of several prestigious awards, including the Khalifa Award for Education as
Distinguished University Professor (2025), the Future Pioneer Award in
Sustainability (2025), and Best Academic Research at the 13th Dubai Award for
Sustainable Transport (2024). He has also received the Research and Innovation
Award from the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (2022) and First Place in
Scientific Research at the Excellence and Creative Engineering Award (2023) by the
Society of Engineers, UAE. In recognition of his contributions, he has been
consistently ranked among the world's top 2% of scientists in the field of energy by
Elsevier BV and Stanford University. In addition to his academic duties, he actively
serves in editorial roles for several international journals and is a frequent keynote
speaker at global conferences.
