Preface Hafiz Muhammad Ali1
This special issue ‘‘Hybrid Nanofluids’’ contains papers with special emphasis on the use of hybrid nanofluids in thermal systems. Hybrid nanofluids with better thermal characteristics and stability than mono nanofluids are a potential new class of fluids for various thermal system applications including thermal management of solar, automotive and electronics systems. The goal for this issue was to develop a ready reference for the specialists in heat transfer, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics with the latest progress and development in the field. This issue serves as a catalyst on current and future directions, challenges and priorities in the area of heat transfer with special emphasis on the improvements of thermal systems. Directly and indirectly, a significant contribution is made to address the challenges for energy efficiency at local and global levels. This issue has attracted experts and researchers from all around the globe (USA, Canada, China, South Africa, Turkey, Pakistan, France, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, India, Iran, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Malaysia, Egypt, Romania, Tunisia, Portugal and Morocco) to submit their current work on hybrid nanofluids applications. The acceptance rate for this special issue, however,

was about 35%. Papers which are published in this issue cover both fundamental developments in the area of hybrid nanofluids to address the stability and thermal characteristics issues, and practical applications in various thermal systems for their efficiency improvement. Recent experimental, theoretical and numerical advances on hybrid nanofluids provide a significant insight to the readers into the latest trends of the field. Various aspects covered by the papers are advancements in thermophysical properties, better preparation techniques for stable fluids, cooling and thermal management by free and forced convection, effects of particles composition on the heat transfer and various applications including solar, electronics and automotive systems and domestic and industrial levels. Lastly, I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to Editor in chief, I.M. Szila´gyi for his support and encouragement to compile this issue with the latest highlights in the field of hybrid nanofluids worldwide. Active cooperation of the head of the editorial office, Sophie Korda is well admired. Special thanks are due to all the reviewers for their prompt evaluation of the manuscripts which was vital for the timely completion of this issue.
