Enhancing surface heat transfer by carbon nanofins: towards an alternative to nanofluids?

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles and fibers which have recently attracted much attention because of their superior thermal properties. Nevertheless, it was proven that, due to modest dispersion of nanoparticles, such high...
