Nanofluids and engineering applications: A review

Abstract

With the development of technology, the search for advanced materials has accelerated. Nanomaterials have emerged as an important material group in this search and have found a place for themselves in many different areas. Nanofluids, which are formed by dispersing nanoparticles in basic liquids such as water, ethylene glycol, or oils, have emerged as a very innovative method in the applications of nanoparticles. They have also found a wide range of applications. The improved thermophysical properties of nanofluids have made this research area important in engineering. Nanofluids have gained a unique area, especially in cooling and lubrication systems due to their higher thermal conductivity, viscosity, and convective heat transfer properties compared to traditional liquids. Nanofluids also hold promises in solar energy systems, defense industry systems, nuclear plants, biomedical applications, automotive, and aviation industries where efficient cooling is important. It has also been shown that the use of nanofluids in processing and lubrication processes increases product quality and minimizes wear. Despite these benefits, problems such as stability, cost, and long-term performance in nanofluids continue. These challenges continue to be investigated with a focus on optimizing nanoparticle concentration, developing dispersion methods, and analyzing the environmental impact of nanofluids. Computational and experimental studies will help to understand the flow behavior and heat transfer processes of nanofluids under different operating conditions. The aim of this paper is to review existing nanofluid studies. It provides an overview of the current developments and applications in the field of engineering, focusing on their functions in heat transfer, energy systems and industrial processes.
