The Apparent Thermal Conductivity of Liquids Containing Solid Particles of Nanometer Dimensions: A Critique

In the past twenty years, the behavior of the apparent thermal conductance of two or three phase systems comprised of solid particles with nanometer dimensions suspended in fluids, dubbed nanofluids, has been greatly contested in literature. After the study of the seven simplest nanofluids, Cu, CuO, Al₂O₃, and TiO₂ suspended in water and ethylene glycol, ...

New Measurements of the Apparent Thermal Conductivity of Nanofluids and Investigation of Their Heat Transfer Capabilities

This article studied the thermal conductivity values and measurements for the following two systems using the transient hot wire (THW) and transient plane source (TPS) techniques: ethylene glycol with added CuO, TiO₂, or Al₂O₃ nanoparticles and water with added TiO₂ or Al₂O₃ nanoparticles or multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). A TPS technique using a thermal conductivity analyzer ...
