Abstract: | An overview of systematic studies that address the complexity of nanofluid systems and advance the understanding of nanoscale
contributions to viscosity, thermal conductivity, and cooling efficiency of nanofluids is presented. A nanoparticle suspension
is considered as a three-phase system including the solid phase (nanoparticles), the liquid phase (fluid media), and the interfacial
phase, which contributes significantly to the system properties because of its extremely high surface-to-volume ratio in nanofluids.
The systems engineering approach was applied to nanofluid design resulting in a detailed assessment of various parameters
in the multivariable nanofluid systems. The relative importance of nanofluid parameters for heat transfer evaluated in this
article allows engineering nanofluids with desired set of properties. |
