TL;DR: An analytical overview of experimental results about the heat transfer capabilities of nanofluids is presented in this paper, using widely scattered available information from diverse literature sources, and a selection of the most valuable papers has been done, taking into account different points of view and hypotheses.
Abstract: An analytical overview of experimental results about the heat transfer capabilities of nanofluids is presented, using widely scattered available information from diverse literature sources. It is shown that, despite the large number of publications available about this issue, only few studies provide quantitative estimates on a complete set of experimental conditions so far and many studies are not coherent. Bearing in mind this problem, in this study a selection of the most valuable papers has been done, taking into account different points of view and hypotheses. Even if this work cannot be considered exhaustive of the complete literature in the field of nanofluids, it can be taken into account as a quick reference guide to have an overview of the different heat transfer phenomena in nanofluids and how the most important parameters (size, shape, concentration, materials etc.) influence the expected thermal performance of nanofluids.
