Thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids containing graphene nanosheets (2011, methodology): “Further details of the experimental setup can be found in Patel et al. (2010).29 The thermal conductivity measurements were carried out eight times for each sample of graphene nanofluid for temperatures between 30 C and 50 C in steps of 5 C, which ensured the repeatability of the experiment.”
