Summary

Nanofluids have received significant attention due to their potential to improve heat transfer, fluid flow, and thermal system performance. The addition of nanoparticles to conventional fluids can enhance their thermal properties and provide new opportunities for applications in energy, cooling, manufacturing, and thermal management. To date, continued research is needed to better understand their behaviour and develop reliable and efficient nanofluid-based systems.
