Retraction: Enhanced heat transfer properties of the magnetite nanofluids due to Neel and Brownian relaxation mechanisms

This article refers to:

Enhanced Heat Transfer Properties of Magnetite Nanofluids due to Neel and Brownian Relaxation Mechanisms

We, the Editors and Publisher of the Journal Chemical Engineering Communications have retracted the following article:

Elaheh Esmaeili, Reza Ghazanfar Chaydareh, Saeed Farsad, Seyyed Amin Rounaghi, and Nader Mollayi, “Enhanced Heat Transfer Properties of the Magnetite Nanofluids Due to Neel and Brownian Relaxation Mechanisms,” Chemical Engineering Communications, Vol. 203, 2017, pp. 1157–1164, DOI: 10.1080/00986445.2016.1150842

Since publication, we have found significant unattributed overlap with data from two other articles by Elaheh Esmaeili published in other journals.
