Experimental and theoretical studies of nanofluid thermal conductivity enhancement: a review

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Nanofluids, <it>i.e.</it>, well-dispersed (metallic) nanoparticles at low- volume fractions in liquids, may enhance the mixture's thermal conductivity, <it>k</it><sub>nf</sub>, over the base-fluid values. Thus, they are po...
