TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a critical review of heat transfer applications of nanofluids, including radiators, circular tube heat exchangers, plate heat exchanger, shell and tube heat exchange, and heat sinks.
Abstract: This paper presents a critical review of heat transfer applications of nanofluids. The effects of nanoparticle concentration, size, shape, and nanofluid flow rate on Nusselt number, heat transfer coefficient, thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, friction factor and pressure drop from numerous studies reported recently are presented. Effects of various geometric parameters on heat transfer enhancement of system using nanofluids have also been reviewed. Heat transfer devices covered in this paper include radiators, circular tube heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers, shell and tube heat exchangers and heat sinks. Various correlations used for experimental validation or developed in reviewed studies are also compiled, compared and analyzed. The pros and cons associated to the applications of nanofluids in heat transfer devices are presented in details to determine the future direction of research in this arena.

TL;DR: The International Nanofluid Property Benchmark Exercise (INPBE) as discussed by the authors was held in 1998, where the thermal conductivity of identical samples of colloidally stable dispersions of nanoparticles or "nanofluids" was measured by over 30 organizations worldwide, using a variety of experimental approaches, including the transient hot wire method, steady state methods, and optical methods.
Abstract: This article reports on the International Nanofluid Property Benchmark Exercise, or INPBE, in which the thermal conductivity of identical samples of colloidally stable dispersions of nanoparticles or “nanofluids,” was measured by over 30 organizations worldwide, using a variety of experimental approaches, including the transient hot wire method, steady-state methods, and optical methods. The nanofluids tested in the exercise were comprised of aqueous and nonaqueous basefluids, metal and metal oxide particles, near-spherical and elongated particles, at low and high particle concentrations. The data analysis reveals that the data from most organizations lie within a relatively narrow band (±10% or less) about the sample average with only few outliers. The thermal conductivity of the nanofluids was found to increase with particle concentration and aspect ratio, as expected from classical theory. There are (small) systematic differences in the absolute values of the nanofluid thermal conductivity among the various experimental approaches; however, such differences tend to disappear when the data are normalized to the measured thermal conductivity of the basefluid. The effective medium theory developed for dispersed particles by Maxwell in 1881 and recently generalized by Nan et al. [J. Appl. Phys. 81, 6692 (1997)], was found to be in good agreement with the experimental data, suggesting that no anomalous enhancement of thermal conductivity was achieved in the nanofluids tested in this exercise.
