TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the extent of thermal conductivity enhancement sometimes greatly exceeds the predictions of well-established theories, and new theoretical descriptions may be needed to account properly for the unique features of nanofluids, such as high particle mobility and large surface to volume ratio.
