Applications of Nanofluids

Nowadays, the optimization of different engineering devices demands the use of "smart" liquids that have a high thermal conductivity. Such "smart" liquids, known as nanofluids, are the suspension of a base liquid (water, oil, and others), and nanosized particles of metal, metal oxide, or biodegradable polymers. In the case of heat transfer enhancement, the usage of nanofluids allows for increasing the effective thermal conductivity, and as a result, growth of the heat transfer rate is expec...
