Predicting the effective thermal conductivity of carbon nanotube based nanofluids.

TL;DR: A theoretical model based on three-dimensional CNT chain formation (percolation) in the base liquid and the corresponding thermal resistance network is presented and a new dimensionless parameter is introduced that alone characterizes the nanofluid thermal conductivity with reasonable accuracy.

Anomalously increased effective thermal conductivities of ethylene glycol-based nanofluids containing copper nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a "nanofluid" consisting of copper nanometer-sized particles dispersed in ethylene glycol has a much higher effective thermal conductivity than either pure or pure glycol or even polyethylene glycol containing the same volume fraction of dispersed oxide nanoparticles.
