Metal oxide nanofluids in electronic cooling: a review

In previous years, nanolubricants have gained attention in terms of their use as heat transfer fluids in applications such as engine cooling and air conditioning. Carbon-based nanolubricants have attracted great interest due to their superior heat transfer performance. To date, the stability of a carbon-based nanolubricant is crucial if the enhanced properties are to be retained after the fabrication process. In this context, the current research aims to review the stability and thermophysical properties of carbon-based nanolubricants. Recent works on these nanolubricants are summarized herein, including the method of preparation and improvements in their properties. The factors that affect the thermal conductivity and viscosity are also discussed, and finally, the applications of nanolubricants are described. The recent studies of nanolubricants are summarized and opportunities for further improvements in their efficiency are suggested.

“…[2,26,[32][33][34][35]. There are two routes in which these advanced fluids can be fabricated, namely the single-step (or one-step) method, and the two-step approach [29,30]. In the one-step method the NPs are grown and dispersed instantaneously within the basefluid, while the two-step process relies on dispersing pre-prepared dried nanopowder in a host liquid through one or more mixing instruments.…”

Coolant is one of the main factors affecting the overall thermal performance of the intercooler for the gas turbine intercooled cycle. The thermal conductivity of conventional coolants, such as water, is relatively low when compared to solid conducting materials, and therefore can hinder the progress towards achieving a compact and highly effective intercooler. Nanofluids are advanced types of working fluids that contain dispersed nanoparticles in conventional basefluids, and as such possess superior thermal conductivity compared to their counterparts. In this paper, a short review on the effect of different nanofluids on the thermal performance of gas turbines intercoolers is presented for the first time. Firstly, this work reviews the different designs of intercoolers used in gas turbines intercooled cycles. Then, it explains the different types of nanofluids and their fabrication processes. The effective parameters, such as physical stability, thermal conductivity, and viscosity are also highlighted and discussed. Furthermore, the level of enhancement in the performance of intercoolers utilizing nanofluids is demonstrated and evaluated. Lastly, the current challenges and future research directions in this field are provided.

According to the US Department of Defence, the failure factor is the ratio of failure rate at any temperature over the projected temperature [ 5 ]. The increase in the failure rate of bipolar digital devices with temperature is shown in Figure 1 [ 6 ].…”

The application of epoxy adhesive is widespread in electronic packaging. Epoxy adhesives can be integrated with various types of nanoparticles for enhancing thermal conductivity. The joints with thermally conductive adhesive (TCA) are preferred for research and advances in thermal management. Many studies have been conducted to increase the thermal conductivity of epoxy-based TCAs by conductive fillers. This paper reviews and summarizes recent advances of these available fillers in TCAs that contribute to electronic packaging. It also covers the challenges of using the filler as a nano-composite. Moreover, the review reveals a broad scope for future research, particularly on thermal management by nanoparticles and improving bonding strength in electronic packaging.
