Roles of surfactants and particle shape in the enhanced thermal conductivity of TiO2 nanofluids

Although several forms of thermal conductivity models for nanofluid have been established, few models for nanofluids containing surfactants or columnar nanoparticles are found. This paper intends to consider the surfactants and particle shape effect in the thermal conductivity of TiO2 nanofluids. Th...
