Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Chemical engineering
  • Heat transfer

Zafar Said spends much of his time researching Nanofluid, Thermal efficiency, Nanofluids in solar collectors, Exergy and Volume fraction. His work carried out in the field of Nanofluid brings together such families of science as Pressure drop, Thermal conductivity and Working fluid. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Pressure drop, Viscosity, Ethylene glycol and Thermal is strongly linked to Heat transfer enhancement.

Analytical chemistry and Volume is closely connected to Volumetric flow rate in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Working fluid. As part of one scientific family, Zafar Said deals mainly with the area of Volume fraction, narrowing it down to issues related to the Mass flow, and often Mechanical engineering. His Chemical engineering study incorporates themes from Molar absorptivity, Work, Absorption, Rayleigh scattering and Metal.

His most cited work include:

  • Evaluation of the effect of nanofluid-based absorbers on direct solar collector (197 citations)
  • A review on thermophysical properties of nanofluids and heat transfer applications (196 citations)
  • Performance Enhancement of a Flat Plate Solar Collector Using Titanium Dioxide Nanofluid and Polyethylene Glycol Dispersant (133 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Nanofluid, Thermal conductivity, Heat transfer, Chemical engineering and Composite material. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nusselt number, Viscosity and Volume fraction. His study in Volume fraction is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pressure drop and Mass flow.

His Thermal conductivity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Carbon nanofiber and Distilled water. He works mostly in the field of Heat transfer, limiting it down to concerns involving Process engineering and, occasionally, Photovoltaics, Electricity generation and Thermal energy. Zafar Said combines subjects such as Molar absorptivity and Metal with his study of Chemical engineering.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Nanofluid (80.28%)
  • Thermal conductivity (33.10%)
  • Heat transfer (27.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2020-2021)?

  • Nanofluid (80.28%)
  • Heat transfer (27.46%)
  • Thermal conductivity (33.10%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Nanofluid, Heat transfer, Thermal conductivity, Composite material and Nusselt number. The concepts of his Nanofluid study are interwoven with issues in Volume fraction, Viscosity and Reynolds number. His Heat transfer study combines topics in areas such as Computational fluid dynamics, Fluent, Exergy efficiency and Laminar flow.

Zafar Said has researched Composite material in several fields, including Nanomaterials, Graphene and Enhanced heat transfer. His Nusselt number research includes themes of Heat transfer coefficient, Heat flux and Fly ash. The Thermal study combines topics in areas such as Photovoltaics, Exergy, Engineering physics and Thermal energy.

Between 2020 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Modification for helical turbulator to augment heat transfer behavior of nanomaterial via numerical approach (38 citations)
  • Recent progress on flat plate solar collectors and photovoltaic systems in the presence of nanofluid: A review (22 citations)
  • Analyzing entropy and thermal behavior of nanomaterial through solar collector involving new tapes (13 citations)
