A Benchmark Study on the Thermal Conductivity of Nanofluids

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.

A review of recent advances in thermophysical properties at the nanoscale: From solid state to colloids

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent advances in the measurement and modeling of thermophysical properties at the nanoscale (from the solid state to colloids) is presented, including thermal conductivity, dynamic viscosity, specific heat capacity, and density.

Free convection of hybrid Al2O3-Cu water nanofluid in a differentially heated porous cavity

TL;DR: In this article, the free convective heat transfer of the Al 2 O 3 -Cu water hybrid nanofluid in a cavity filled with a porous medium is investigated. And the experimental data show dramatic enhancement in the thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of the synthesized hybrid nano-luids, and hence, these thermophysical properties could not be modeled using available models of nanometrics.

Convection in Porous Media

TL;DR: In this paper, an introduction to convection in porous media assumes the reader is familiar with basic fluid mechanics and heat transfer, going on to cover insulation of buildings, energy storage and recovery, geothermal reservoirs, nuclear waste disposal, chemical reactor engineering and the storage of heat-generating materials like grain and coal.

Convective Transport in Nanofluids

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered seven slip mechanisms that can produce a relative velocity between the nanoparticles and the base fluid and concluded that only Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis are important slip mechanisms in nanofluids.

Investigation on Convective Heat Transfer and Flow Features of Nanofluids

TL;DR: In this article, an innovative new class of heat transfer fluids can be engineered by suspending metallic nanoparticles in conventional heat-transfer fluids, which are expected to exhibit high thermal conductivities compared to those of currently used heat transfer fluid, and they represent the best hope for enhancing heat transfer.

Hydrodynamic and heat transfer study of dispersed fluids with submicron metallic oxide particles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a Brookfield rotating viscometer to measure the viscosities of the dispersed fluids with γ-alumina (Al2O3) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles at a 10% volume concentration.
