Particle size effects in the thermal conductivity enhancement of copper-based nanofluids
<p>Abstract</p> <p>We present an analysis of the dispersion characteristics and thermal conductivity performance of copper-based nanofluids. The copper nanoparticles were prepared using a chemical reduction methodology in the presence of a stabilizing surfactant, oleic acid or cety...
