This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program in the amount of $1,452,420 is supporting research at Prairie View A&M University to investigate the anomalous transport phenomena and thermal properties of ferro-nanofluids under external stimuli like magnetic fields. The one-year project aims to employ a one-step in-situ synthesis technique to produce ferro-nanofluids, conduct experiments to measure their material properties, and develop machine learning algorithms to model the experimental data. The research seeks to uncover the underlying mechanisms behind the unique thermo-physical behaviors of these fluids, with the goal of advancing energy efficiency and performance across multiple engineering domains. The project will also provide research opportunities and promote interdisciplinary learning in fields like nanotechnology and computational modeling, contributing to educational and workforce development goals.
