What are the challenges and future directions in nanotechnology-based cooling systems?
While nanotechnology offers numerous benefits for cooling systems, several challenges need to be addressed. One major challenge is the scalability of nanomaterials production, as large-scale manufacturing can be cost-prohibitive. Additionally, the long-term stability and compatibility of nanomaterials with existing systems need to be ensured. Future research is focused on developing cost-effective and scalable nanomaterials, exploring hybrid nanofluids, and integrating smart cooling systems that can adapt to varying thermal loads.
