Heat Transfer in Nanofluids—A Review (2006, methodology): “[72] have presented a simple formula for thermal conductivity enhancement in CNT composites that is derived from the Maxwell-Garnett model [52] by the effective medium approach.”
Thermal conductivity enhancement of carbon fiber composites (2009, background): “have reported anomalous thermal conductivity enhancement in such mixtures [2], which could not be accurately predicted by the established models for the conventional granular porous media [6,7].”
Rheological behaviour of ethylene glycol-titanate nanotube nanofluids (2009, methodology): “To calculate ka ,E q. (6) is combined with the following Nan’s model ( Nan et al. 2003 ) for randomly dispersed nanotube-based composites:”
Heat Transfer Intensification Using Nanofluids (2007, background): “It is now clear that the liquid-nanoparticle interface is one of the main factors that decrease (rather than increase) the effective thermal conductivity due to the so-called Kapita interfacial resistance (Shenogin et al. 2004a & 2004b, Nan et al. 2003; Gao et al. 2007).”
