A Comprehensive Model for the Enhanced Thermal Conductivity of Nanofluids

摘要: Various mechanisms and correlations concerning the enhanced thermal conductivity of nanofluids have been developed. In this work, a comprehensive model to predict large enhancement by considering graded nanolayer, mutual interaction spherical nanoparticles Brownian motion is proposed. The investigates relationship between nanoparticle size, nanolayer thickness, adjacent nanoparticles, volume fraction temperature. Furthermore, theoretical results on effective are in good agreement with that experimental data.
