Further elucidation of nanofluid thermal conductivity measurement using a transient hot-wire method apparatus
The Transient Hot-Wire Method (THWM) was developed to measure the absolute thermal conductivity of gases, liquids, melts, and solids with low uncertainty. The majority of nanofluid researchers used THWM to mea...

Model for predicting the critical size of aggregates in nanofluids
Stable suspension of the nanoparticles in the base fluids is inevitable to have the nanofluids be operated properly. Here we report the theoretical model to find the critical size of aggregates in nanofluids f...
