The influence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on single-phase heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics in the transitional flow regime of smooth tubes (2013, unknown): “This could be due to the fact that nanofluids exhibit shear thinning behaviour at high shear rates [3,12,42], which decreases the viscosity and the nanofluid then enhances the heat transfer.”
Latest developments on the viscosity of nanofluids (2012, background): “For example, some authors reported that nanofluids were Newtonian fluids [2,55–57,77,78,88,90,95,103,131,132], while others observed a non-Newtonian behavior [4,58,79,87,88,97,104].”
Surfactant-free dispersion of silver nanoparticles into MWCNT-aqueous nanofluids prepared by one-step technique and their thermal characteristics (2013, methodology): “The operation of the instrument was based on the working principles of the transient hot wire method used for nanofluids [21,38].”
Enhanced thermal conductivity of ethylene glycol with single-walled carbon nanotube inclusions (2012, background): “This huge enhancement, however, could not be reproduced by subsequent studies [10-19].”
