Research topics from publications: Review on hybrid geothermal and solar power systems; Review on enhanced oil recovery by nanofluids. Representative work: The addition of nanoparticles into water based fluids (nanofluid) with or without other chemicals to Enhance Oil Recovery (EOR) has recently received intensive interest. Many papers have been published in this area and several EOR mechanisms have been proposed. The main EOR mechanisms include wettability alteration, reduction in InterFacial surface Tension (IFT), increase in the viscosity of aqueous solution, decrease in oil viscosity, and log-jamming. Some of these mechanisms may be associated with the change in disjoining pressure because of the addition of the nanoparticles. The experimental data and results reported by different researchers, however, are not all consistent and some even
