The First International Conference on Nanof luids (ICNF2019) together with the second European Symposium on Nanofluids (ESNF2019) [1] was held at the Universitat Jaume I, Castello, Spain, during June 26–28, 2019. This con‑ ference was organized under the auspices of the European COST Action (CA15119)—Overcoming Barriers to Nano‑ fluids Market Uptake (NanoUptake) [2]. In addition to build research and development cooperation among the partici‑ pants of this COST Action, the conference and symposium provided a platform for strong collaboration and exchange of research and ideas as well as to bring together researchers, scientists and engineers from Europe and around the world. The conference covered broad aspects of nanofluids from basic research to industrial applications. Following main topics were included in the conference [1]: • Nanofluid materials (nanoparticles, nano-PCM, nanoflu‑

ids, nanosalts, ionanofluids, etc.)

• Nanofluid preparation and characterization methods, • • • • • • • •

(stability (physical and chemical effects), agglomeration, etc.) Nanofluid properties (thermophysical, optical, and mag‑ netic properties) Heating, cooling, and refrigeration Phase change-based heat transfer (boiling, surface coat‑ ing, heat pipes, etc.) Storage of thermal energy Solar energy applications (specific black nanofluids, volumetric solar collectors, etc.) Numerical simulation on the microscopic and macro‑ scopic levels Industrial applications Health, safety, and environmental issues.

A total of 87 oral presentations including 5 keynote lec‑ tures in 9 topic-based technical sessions and 42 posters were presented at the conference which hosted about 200 del‑ egates from 45 countries [1, 2]. Based on the evaluation of the extended abstract and the presentation at the conference a dozen of papers were selected and invited for submission to this special issue. A total of eight full papers were submitted and undergone usual review process. Based on the review reports five papers were accepted and published (currently in Online first) for the special issue. Due to very limited number of papers they are published in regular issues. A brief summary of each of these papers follows here. The first paper by authors Khliyeva et al. [3] presents a new approach for the prediction of the pool boiling heat transfer coefficient of refrigerant R141b and its mixtures with surfactant and nanoparticles using experimental data. A new approach that combines limited set of the experimental data (LSED) with correlations of the internal boiling char‑ acteristics (IBC) versus heat flux and pressure
