Summary
Nanofluids refers to suspensions of high conductive nanoparticles in low conductive base fluids. Using this innovative and non-destructive technique leads to the improvement of the heat transfer due to the enhancement of the thermophysical properties of nanofluids. The use of nanofluids in various engineering application becomes a trend last decade especially with miniaturization/size reduction of devices and equipment. In fact, using nanofluids can lead to a reducing of heat exchange area, enhancement of heat transfer coefficient and improvement of the performances of thermal systems. Investigation is this thematic still in progress and the number of research teams working on it keeps increasing. Thus, the present issue will be dedicated to the latest advance in all the aspects related to the use of nanofluids in heat transfer and thermal systems.
The SI includes (and not limited to) the following topics:
