ABSTRACT

Recent advances in nanomaterials and nanotechnology have led to the development of new class of heat-transfer fluids containing nanometer-sized particles called nanoparticles typically made of carbon nanotubes, metals, or oxides. Nanofluids are engineered by suspending nanoparticles with average sizes below 100 nm in
