Abstract

The global energy and environmental crises are the most urgent issues confronting humanity in the coming years. The complexity of the problems involved necessitates employing different strategies in a wide range of scientific and technological topics. In this context, the last ten years have seen the development of great interest in new, high-efficiency heat transfer fluids, capable of improving the performance and efficiency of energy systems used in civil, industrial, electronics, and transport sectors, namely: nanofluids. Nanofluids are colloidal suspensions made of a traditional base fluid (water, oil, etc.) and suspended solid nanoparticles (Al2O3, CuO, etc.) that can improve the thermal conductivity and heat transfer properties of the base fluids. A brief analysis of recent research about nanofluids is presented.
