What Are We Looking For? Research Being Conducted

Abstract

The objectives of this research are to develop a new model for predicting thermal conductivity of nanoparticle fluids by incorporating particle properties, and develop suitable analytical methods to experimentally investigate the nanofluid systems, particle characteristics, and preparation methods for controlling nanofluid properties.
