Heat transfer by using TiO2 nanofluids

This chapter deals with heat transfer characteristics of TiO2 nanofluids,which nowadays appear to be very close to practical applications. Also preparation, characterization, and influence of different parameters on the thermal conductivity of TiO2 nanofluids are discussed. The aim is to give a critical survey of the various studies on this topic. On the other hand, a selective and systematic view that focuses on the characteristic properties of a given nanofluid (specifically, TiO2 nanofluid) can be utilized by technicians and researchers. So, this chapter aims to comprehensively illustrate the research progresses in the heat transfer applications of TiO2 nanofluids and to discuss the open challenges and the possibilities of future developments.
