Abstract |
Nanofluid, a simple product of nanotechnology is prepared by dispersing small particles of size 10-9 m in a base liquid. Due to its excellent heat conducting properties, nanofluids can be used in a wide range of applications. Still there is a need to enhance its thermal conductivity to extend its service in many more applications. In order to make the nanofluid a long term sustainable work fluid, there is a necessity to predict its aging effect which is termed as thermal aging. This review mainly focuses on thermal conductivity enhancement techniques of nanofluids and also suggests methods to calculate their effective lifetime. Keywords- Nanofluids, Thermal Conductivity, Thermal Aging | |||||||||
