A review on nanofluids - part I: theoretical and numerical investigations (2008, background): “Yu and Choi (2004) proposed a modified Hamilton-Crosser model to include the particleliquid interfacial layer for non-spherical particles.”
A Review on the Mechanisms of Heat Transport in Nanofluids (2009, methodology): “Prasher et al. [19] criticized that the model of Jang and Choi [17] has little justification as it was derived by neglecting all the relevant terms in the Nusselt number relation for flow past a sphere and their model was basically the same as the liquid layering model.”
Recent developments on fractal-based approaches to nanofluids and nanoparticle aggregation (2017, background): “A complete particle distribution function is essential for 1 evaluating the enhancement of thermal conductivity that produced by the coherent heat 2 transport between particles separated by thin liquid layers [49-52].”
Thermal conductivity and viscosity of Al2O3 nanofluid based on car engine coolant (2010, background): “Based on these two original models, several such propositions were reported for nanofluids [26, 27].”
