Despite their promising properties, nanofluids face several challenges:
- Stability: Achieving stable dispersions without agglomeration over time is a significant challenge. - Cost: The production of high-quality nanoparticles and their dispersion can be expensive. - Health and Safety: The potential toxicity of nanoparticles poses health and environmental risks that need to be carefully managed. - Standardization: Lack of standardized testing methods and protocols makes it difficult to compare results across different studies.
