TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of variations in the temperature and volume fraction on the steady-state effective thermal conductivity of two different nanoparticle suspensions were examined and the results indicated that the nanoparticle material, diameter, volume fraction, and bulk temperature, all have a significant impact on the effective thermalconductivity of these suspensions.

TL;DR: In this article, a steady-state method was used to evaluate the effective thermal conductivity of Al2O3∕distilled water nanofluids with nanoparticle diameters of 36 and 47nm.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-level hierarchical surface with patterned copper nanowire arrays for boiling heat transfer enhancement is developed, where microcavities are formed between short nanowires.

TL;DR: In this article, the natural convection heat transfer characteristics of Al2O3/water nanofluids comprised of 47 nm, Al 2O3 and water, with volume fractions ranging from 0.5% through 6%, have been investigated.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the amount of heat released from ethanol combustion increases almost linearly with n-Al concentration, and the combustion model that utilized Chemical Equilibrium with Applications was shown to be in good agreement with the experimental results.
