Abstract
The life of a thermal system depends on how effectively the heat (which is released during its operation), being transferred. Selection of the right fluid is imperative in providing the heat transfer solution for a particular thermal system. Nanofluids are the new generation heat transfer fluids which will give better performance with their superior thermos-physical properties. So much research has been done on nanofluids during the recent years on several aspects like synthesizing the stable nanofluids without losing their properties, characterization, application of nanofluids to forced convection, free convection, boiling heat transfer. The present review is concentrated mainly on the experimental investigations on the preparation and characterization of nanofluids and its applications in several areas. Majority of studies reported that critical heat flux improves with the nanofluids. It will be very useful for the researchers who are about to work on the nanofluids.
