Thermal conductance of nanofluids: is the controversy over? (2008, background): “These estimates were supported by the results of molecular dynamics simulations (Evans et al. 2006; Vladkov and Barrat 2006), and by the results of experimental measurements on well-dispersed spherical nanoparticle fluids (Putnam et al. 2006; Rusconi et al. 2006; Venerus et al. 2006; Zhang et al. 2”
Pressure drop and convective heat transfer of water and nanofluids in a double-pipe helical heat exchanger (2013, result): “[24] and others, the Einstein equation [19] and the Maxwell model [20] are in good agreement with the experimental results at low volume concentrations (F < 2.”
Thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity measurements of CuO nanofluids (2013, unknown): “It can be concluded that the experimental thermal conductivities of the nanofluids studied in this work can be properly justified using a simple classical model and that no anomalous enhancement of thermal conductivity was observed [37, 61, 70].”

Thermal conductivity and viscosity of stabilized ethylene glycol and water mixture Al2O3 nanofluids for heat transfer applications: An experimental study☆ (2014, background): “[16] considered Au/toluene, Al2O3/ water, TiO2/water, CuO/water and CNT/water nanofluids in temperatures ranging from 5 °C to 50 °C and observed that thermal conductivity increases with increase of particle concentrations.”
A review on nanofluids - part II: experiments and applications (2008, methodology): “Recently, Zhang et al. (2007) measured the effective conductivity and thermal diffusivity of Au/totuene, Al2O3/water, TiO2/water, CuO/water nanofluids using the transient short-hot-wire (SHW) technique, which was developed from the conventional transient hot wire (THW) technique and is based on the…”
Effect of nanoparticles mean diameter on mixed convection heat transfer of a nanofluid in a horizontal tube (2008, background): “However, studies show that the measured thermal conductivity of nanofluid is much larger than the theoretical predictions (Choi et al., 2001; Zhang et al., 2007).”
