The Classical Nature of Thermal Conduction in Nanofluids (2008, result): “These results are in agreement with an earlier MD study [71], which showed no discernible increase in the interface thermal conductivity even while observing four ordered fluid layers near a surface.”
Review of convective heat transfer enhancement with nanofluids (2009, background): “Some of these simulations dealt with the effective thermal conductivity of nanofluids [33,34] or effective viscosity [35] and most of them focuses on the heat transfer of nanofluids [36–60].”
A review on development of nanofluid preparation and characterization (2009, background): “[51] demonstrated that the layering of the liquid atoms at the liquid– solid interface did not have any significant effect on thermal transport properties.”
A review on nanofluids - part I: theoretical and numerical investigations (2008, methodology): “Another interesting numerical investigation was conducted by Xue et al. (2004) using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations.”
Molecular dynamics simulation of effect of liquid layering around the nanoparticle on the enhanced thermal conductivity of nanofluids (2010, methodology): “…liquid layer thicknesses required to match with the experimental data are about 2–3 nm, which is significantly larger than the liquid thickness suggested by experiments (Yu et al. 2000) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation (Xue et al. 2004) (three to five times of the liquid molecular diameters).”
Thermal conductance of nanofluids: is the controversy over? (2008, background): “Furthermore, interpretation of the cooling rates of Au nanoparticles suspended in water and organic solvents does not appear to require any unusual thermophysical properties of the surrounding liquid to explain the experimental results ( Wilson et al. 2002 ).”
A Review on the Mechanisms of Heat Transport in Nanofluids (2009, methodology): “[39] using molecular dynamics simulation showed that the thermal transport in a layered liquid may not be adequate to explain the increased thermal conductivity of nanofluids.”
