TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of both the temperature and the particle size on the dynamic viscosities of two particular water-based nanofluids, namely water-Al2O3 and water-CuO mixtures, was investigated experimentally using a piston-type calibrated viscometer based on the Couette flow inside a cylindrical measurement chamber.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of temperature and particle volume concentration on the dynamic viscosity for the water-Al2O3 nanofluid has been experimentally investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of nanofluids on the performance of solar collectors and solar water heaters from the efficiency, economic and environmental considerations viewpoints, and made some suggestions to use the nanoparticles in different solar thermal systems such as photovoltaic/thermal systems, solar ponds, solar thermoelectric cells, and so on.

TL;DR: In this article, the stability of nanofluids is discussed as it has a major role in heat transfer enhancement for further possible applications, and general stabilization methods as well as various types of instruments for stability inspection.

TL;DR: A critical synthesis of the variants within the thermophysical properties of nanofluids is presented in this article, where the experimental results for the effective thermal conductivity and viscosity reported by several authors are in disagreement.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of particle volume fraction, temperature and particle size on thermal conductivity of alumina/water and copper oxide/water nanofluids were investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize recent development in research on synthesis and characterization of stationary nanofluids and try to find some challenging issues that need to be solved for future research.
