TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore four possible explanations for the anomalous thermal conductivity of nanofluids: Brownian motion of the particles, molecular-level layering of the liquid at the liquid/particle interface, the nature of heat transport in the nanoparticles, and the effects of nanoparticle clustering.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the results of equilibrium and nonequilibrium methods to compute thermal conductivity using Sillinger-Weber silicon as a model system, addressing issues related to nonlinear response, thermal equilibration, and statistical averaging.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of thermal transport at the nanoscale is presented, emphasizing developments in experiment, theory, and computation in the past ten years and summarizes the present status of the field.

TL;DR: These findings indicate that heat transport in a nanotube composite material will be limited by the exceptionally small interface thermal conductance and that the thermal conductivity of the composite will be much lower than the value estimated from the intrinsic thermal conductivities of the nanotubes and their volume fraction.

TL;DR: The International Nanofluid Property Benchmark Exercise (INPBE) as mentioned in this paper 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.
