A Review of the Advances and Challenges in Measuring the Thermal Conductivity of Nanofluids

Abstract: Fluids containing colloidal suspensions of nanometer-sized particles (nanofluids) have been extensively investigated in recent decades with promising results. Driven by the increase in the thermal conductivity of these new thermofluids, this topic has been growing in order to improve the thermal capacity of a series of applications in the thermal area. However, when it comes to measure nanofluids (NFs) thermal conductivity, experimental results need to be carefully analyzed. Hence, in this review work, the mai… Show more

“…Having produced the gr-PSA film, its in-plane (kx) and through-plane (kz) thermal conductivity were measured. The thermal diffusivity obtained by a LFA was used to calculate kx and kz based on equation (1) [24]. kx and kz of the gr-PSA film were calculated to be 1.56 (±0.37) Wm −1 K −1 and 0.25 (±0.03) Wm −1 K −1 , respectively, indicating that the former was far greater than the latter because of the anisotropic thermal conductivity of the graphite [25]…”

“…One of the very important thermodynamic parameters of nanofluids that needs to be examined to show that these new improved suspensions can be used in heat transfer applications is their thermal conductivity. There are several ways for determining the thermal conductivity of nanofluids, including optical approaches, the transient hot wire method, the temperature oscillation approach, the transient plane source method, and numerous others [15]. Higher thermal conductivity is preferred in applications where heat transmission is involved.…”

“…The nanoinspection toolbox currently comprises a combination of new analytical solutions and classic in-bulk techniques adapted to target traits and processes at the nanometric scale specifically. Electrical and thermal conductivity, , optical absorption, and localized surface plasmon resonance , or surface reactivity are examples of magnitudes that can be measured using physicochemical methods reported in the recent literature. The finesse found in the design of nanomaterials and their applications implies the necessity of precisely knowing their behavior down to the single particle (SP) level in some cases .…”
