Heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids: a review

Experimental investigation into convective heat transfer of nanofluids at the entrance region under laminar flow conditions

Heat transfer of aqueous suspensions of carbon nanotubes (CNT nanofluids)

Enhanced thermal conductivity of TiO2—water based nanofluids

Suspended nanoparticles in conventional fluids, called nanofluids, have been the subject of intensive study worldwide since pioneering researchers recently discovered the anomalous thermal behavior of these fluids. The enhanced thermal conductivity of these fluids with small-particle concentration was surprising and could not be explained by existing theories. Micrometer-sized particle-fluid suspensions exhibit no such dramatic enhancement. This difference has led to studies of other modes of heat transfer and efforts to develop a comprehensive theory. This article presents an exhaustive review of these studies and suggests a direction for future developments. The review and suggestions could be useful because the literature in this area is spread over a wide range of disciplines, including heat transfer, material science, physics, chemical engineering and synthetic chemistry.

Field synergy principle for enhancing convective heat transfer--its extension and numerical verifications

Extending the elastic continuum model for fine particles, a theoretical model was proposed to include the different contributions of interior and surface atoms for the specific heat capacity. The effect of size and temperature and the softening of surface atom vibrations were studied, and a dimensionless variable was proposed to characterize the effect of particle size and temperature on the specific heat capacity of nanoparticles. The proposed model was used to fit experimental data for copper oxide nanoparticles.
