They determine the ability of the system to dissipate thermal energy. However, their functions are limited due to their low convective heat transfer rates. Nanofluids are suspensions of nanomaterials having a high thermal conductivity, suspended in conventional fluids. This enhances the heat transfer rates while also changing the property of the fluid and it is a new opportunity for thermal sciences provided by the advances in nanoscience. It is expected that the nanofluids will be the next generation of heat transfer fluids due to their unique thermal properties and enhanced heat transfer rate in comparison with conventional cooling fluids. This study provides a review of literature of recent research in this field with the focus being on heat transfer characteristics and potential applications of nanofluids. The paper also identifies opportunities for future research on nanofluids with respect to heat transfer applicationsRead More
