TL;DR: Transient hot-wire data on thermal conductivity of suspensions of silica and perfluorinated particles show agreement with the mean-field theory of Maxwell but not with the recently postulated microconvection mechanism.
Abstract: Transient hot-wire data on thermal conductivity of suspensions of silica and perfluorinated particles show agreement with the mean-field theory of Maxwell but not with the recently postulated microconvection mechanism. The influence of interfacial thermal resistance, convective effects at microscales, and the possibility of thermal conductivity enhancements beyond the Maxwell limit are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article , the numerical simulation for thermal analysis of PTC with a wavy absorber pipe employing finite volume method was presented, where a two phase model for a mixture of oil and CuO nanoparticles were applied to find the amount of received heat to absorber.

TL;DR: In this article, the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) was used to simulate the convection in enclosures using water/SiO2 nanofluid, and the results showed that the average Nusselt number increases with volume fraction for the whole range of Rayleigh numbers and aspect ratios.
