Description
Nanofluid has wide range of application in several crucial areas such as transportation, microelectronics, microfluidics, medical, manufacturing, power saving; all of these elements minimize process time and increase heat ratings as well as extend the life span of machinery and so on. Nanofluids are being used as coolants in the thermal exchange systems of automobiles and nuclear reactors. Nanofluids are essentially a combination of suspended ultra-fine nanoparticles flooded into different regular fluids like oil, water, engine oil, ethylene glycol etc. The nano-sized particles are compose of single and multiple wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs, MWCNTs), metal , carbide , metal oxide , and some other nano-scale fluid droplets. The size of nanoparticles is commonly 1-100 nm, but it can contrast slightly as demonstrated by their size and shape.
