Colloidal suspensions of fine nanomaterials in the size range of 1–100nm in carrier fluids are known as nanofluids. For the last one decade, nanofluids have been a topic of intense research due to their enhanced thermal properties and possible heat transfer applications. Miniaturization and increase...
