Mixing effect on the enhancement of the effective thermal conductivity of nanoparticle suspensions (nanofluids)

摘要: In the last decade, a number of investigations have been conducted to identify possible mechanisms that contribute enhanced effective thermal conductivity nanoparticle suspensions (nanofluids). The Brownian motion nanoparticles in these is one potential contributors this enhancement and might are subject considerable discussion debate. current investigation, mixing effect base fluid immediate vicinity caused by was analyzed, modeled compared with existing experimental data available literature. simulation results indicate can significant influence on nanofluids.
