Thermal Performance of Poly Alpha Olefin Nanofluid with Spherical and Non-spherical Nanoparticles

Research on nanofluids has been undertaken for several years because of the reported enhancements of thermal properties such as thermal conductivity and enhanced heat transfer performance in laminar flow. Nanofluid is the fluid where nanoparticles are dispersed in a base fluid. Thermal conductivity...
