2. Nanofluid preparation
There are numerous processes for manufacturing nanoparticles. They fall into two categories:
physical processes, such as mechanical grinding;
chemical processes, such as laser pyrolysis or chemical precipitation
[9] [13]
In general, nanoparticles used for nanofluid synthesis are based on oxides, nitrides, carbides, pure metals or alloys, or carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Composite particles can also be made from polymers.
Table 1 shows a non-exhaustive list of combinations of nanoparticles and base fluids prepared by various research groups.
There are two...
