Abstract
The purpose of this review paper is to introduce some progresses in nanofluid technology and applications. The enhancement mechanism of heat conduction of nanofluids and heat and mass heat transport inside nanofluids as well as controlling methods are outlined. Also, a series of possible applications of nanofluids are discussed. The effects of properties, fractions and sizes of nanoparticles on flow and heat transport processes of nanofluids are discussed. The roles of the suspension stability and temperature in affecting thermal conductivity of nanofluids are analyzed. Furthermore, challenges of improving nanofluid technology and putting it in more and more applications are involved.
