Experimental Methodology to Determine Thermal Conductivity of Nanofluids by Using a Commercial Transient Hot-Wire Device

The lack of a standard experimental procedure to determine thermal conductivity of fluids is noticeable in heat transfer processes from practical and fundamental perspectives. Since a wide variety of techniques have been used, reported literature data have huge discrepancies. A common practice is us...
