Spotlight on available optical properties and models of nanofluids: A review

摘要: Optical characteristics besides unique thermo-physical properties of nanoparticles have encouraged researchers to use nanofluids in solar energy collectors or reservoirs as electromagnetic wave absorbing media. Recently, different analyses and approaches been proposed by researchers. However, the appropriate electro-magnetic phenomenon is not established till date because complex dependence between base fluids. In this work, optical are discussed on basis published data; mostly used models presented along with their limitations applications.
