Abstract
Nanodispersions can be used to solve various practical problems, such as increasing the efficiency of heating systems, cooling of electrical equipment, intensifying oil recovery, etc., because dispersing nanoparticles in liquid media provides an inexpensive and convenient way to significantly improve various functional properties of a base fluid. Although the influence of dispersed particles on surface phenomena in systems comprising nanofluids has been studied for more than 30 years, due to a number of factors, the problem of appropriate and self-consistent description of the behavior of nanofluids will apparently remain to be the focus of scientific attention in the coming decades. This paper presents a brief review of recently published results that are of general importance for understanding the behavior of the surface tension of nanofluids, as well as the processes accompanying wetting with nanofluids and their spreading over various surfaces.
