Critical Heat Flux Enhancement via Surface Modification Using Colloidal Dispersions of Nanoparticles (Nanofluids)

Nanofluids are engineered colloidal dispersions of nanoparticles (1-100nm) in common fluids (water, refrigerants, or ethanol…). Materials used for nanoparticles include chemically stable metals (e.g., gold, silver, copper), metal oxides (e.g., alumina, zirconia, silica, titania) and carbon in var...
