A Study on Thermal Conductivity of Nanofluids | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

Nanofluids have been an area of interest since the past decade due to their number of potential applications in various fields. Their physical properties have been studied on a vast scale like thermal conductivity, viscosity etc. we present in this paper a study on the existing explanations on the mechanism of the anomalous thermal conductivity enhancement and varied experimental results put forward by the scientific community so far. The paper discovers that a much more deep study is needed both on experimental and theoretical platform in order to derive maximum from these emerging smart fluids.
