Thermophysical properties of nanofluids

TL;DR: In this article , an extensive study of density, viscosity, and thermal conductivity of nanofluids is developed, and the effects of temperature and nanoparticle characteristics (type, concentration, and size) are evaluated based on the experimental data of the literature.

Effects of Experimental Method on Aggregation State and Thermal Conductivity of Carbon Nanotube-Based Fluids

TL;DR: In this article, a model of the thermal conductivity enhancement of liquids with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is presented by incorporating the aggregate state where such paths are formed, and the model concludes that the anomalously wide range of enhancement values that have been observed recently is attributed to aggregate concentration.

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.

Thermal transport measurements of individual multiwalled nanotubes.

TL;DR: The thermal conductivity and thermoelectric power of a single carbon nanotube were measured using a microfabricated suspended device and shows linear temperature dependence with a value of 80 microV/K at room temperature.

Measuring Thermal Conductivity of Fluids Containing Oxide Nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, a transient hot-wire method was used to measure the thermal conductivity of a small amount of nanoparticles and the experimental results showed that these nanoparticles have substantially higher thermal conductivities than the same liquids without nanoparticles.

Anomalous thermal conductivity enhancement in nanotube suspensions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have produced nanotube-in-oil suspensions and measured their effective thermal conductivity, which is anomalously greater than theoretical predictions and is nonlinear with nanotubes loadings.
