Effect of Aggregation on Thermal Conduction in Colloidal Nanofluids [electronic resource]

Using effective medium theory we demonstrate that the thermal conductivity of nanofluids can be significantly enhanced by the aggregation of nanoparticles into clusters. The enhancement is based purely on conduction and does not require a novel mechanism. Predictions of the effective medium theory a...
