Application of nanofluids in chemical engineering

Nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles in fluids that show significant enhancement of their properties at modest nanoparticle concentrations. Many of the publications on nanofluids about understand their behavior so that they can be utilized where straight heat transfer enhancement is paramount as in many industrial applications such as nuclear reactors, transportation. Nanofluid as a smart fluid where heat transfer can be reduced or enhanced at will has also been reported. This paper focuses on presenting the broad range of current and future applications that involve nanofluids, emphasizing their improved heat transfer properties that are control able and the specific characteristics that these nanofluids possess that make them suitable for such applications.
