Does mathematics contribute to the nanofluid debate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors scrutinise the mathematical work and demonstrate that the disagreement can be traced to a number of issues, such as the incorrect formulation of the governing equations, the use of parameter values orders of magnitude different to the true values, model choices that are based on permitting a reduction using similarity variables as opposed to representing an actual physical situation, and presentation of results using different scalings for each fluid.

Multiple solutions of MHD boundary layer flow and heat transfer behavior of nanofluids induced by a power-law stretching/shrinking permeable sheet with viscous dissipation
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of viscous dissipation and thermophoresis were reduced into the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations and the existence of dual solutions for various pertinent parameters in certain domain with the critical value of suction (0, s c s ) and stretching/shrinking parameter ( χ c χ ).

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.
