Nanofluids are heat transfer fluids with enhanced thermal conductivity properties due to the addition of metallic-based nanoparticles. In this study, the thermal properties of AlĀ¬2O3 and TiO2 nanofluids were examined to evaluate their usefulness in microchannel heat sink applications. A thermal constants analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the nanofluids using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that thermal conductivity increased with volume fraction of nanofluids, and ...
