What are nanofluids and their role in cooling systems?
Nanofluids are fluids that contain nanoparticles, typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in size. These nanoparticles can significantly enhance the thermal conductivity of the base fluid. Common nanoparticles used in nanofluids include metal oxides, carbon-based materials, and ceramic particles. By utilizing nanofluids in cooling systems, industries can achieve better heat transfer performance, leading to more efficient cooling.
