ABSTRACT
Recent research and development on conduction (static) and convection (flow) heat transfer of ethylene glycol (EG) and its aqueous mixture (EG/W)-based nanofluids have extensively been reviewed in this chapter. We begin with discussing and summarizing nanofluids, preparation and stabilization methods. Experimental results on the influences of nanoparticles types, sizes, and concentrations on the thermal conductivity of EG and EG + W-based nanofluids are critically reviewed. Convective heat transfer studies of these nanofluids are reviewed, and results from various researchers are also compared. Nanofluids were found to have significantly higher thermal conduction and convective characteristics than those of their fluids.
