Summary

Common fluids, including particles of the order of a few nanometers, are termed "nano-fluids" and have created considerable interest recently thanks to their improved heat transfer capabilities. With a very small volume fraction of such particles, the thermal conductivity and convective heat transfer capability of these suspensions are significantly enhanced without the problems encountered in common slurries such as clogging, erosion, sedimentation and an increase in pressure drop.
