“…This equipment is popular, and was previously used by many research groups to study the thermal properties of nanofluids, for example in Ref. [11,27,[42][43][44][45]. The sample was thermostated with the probe in for 30 min in a water bath MLL 547 (AJL Electronic, Cracow, Poland) before measurement.…”

“…The influence factors for thermal conductivity of TFCs are mainly from the following several aspects: filler shape, functional treatment technique, volume fraction, type of base fluid, directional alignment technique, interfacial thermal resistance [25][26][27], and so forth. Among them, the filler shape is one of the most important but easily overlooked factors.…”

With the rapid development of electronic industry, heat dissipation issue becomes more and more important. Thermal functional composites (TFCs) are usually binary composites, filled with thermal conductive additives (nanomaterials) in matrix, and the composites show good thermal performance. The theoretical and experimental results show that the filler shape is one of the most important but easily overlooked factors. In this article, we provide a systematic review of the effect of the filler shape on the thermal conductivity of TFCs, and the heat transfer enhancement based on synergistic effect is also summed up. Finally, the future trends of further improving thermal properties of TFCs are predicted.

“…The increase in thermal conductivity of nanofluids containing various types of nanoparticles was intensively studied [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. However, when planning the practical use of nanofluids, it should be taken into account that with increasing concentration of the nanoparticles in a liquid its viscosity increases [19,20,26].…”

Nanofluids are a group of novel engineering materials that are increasingly being used, particularly in the processes of heat exchange. One of the most promising materials in this group is magnesium oxide-ethylene glycol (MgO-EG) nanofluid. The literature informs that this material is characterized by an significant increase in thermal conductivity with low dynamic viscosity increase. The aim of this paper is to provide experimental data on the dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity of nanofluids containing MgO nanoparticles with 20 nm average size and ethylene glycol as base fluid. To determine dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity of samples, a HAAKE MARS 2 rheometer (Thermo Electron Corporation, Karlsruhe, Germany) and KD2 Pro Thermal Properties Analyzer (Decagon Devices Inc., Pullman, Washington, USA) were used. Additionally, a comparison of the experimental results and the predictions of theoretical models was presented. It was presented that the vast majority of theoretical models does not describe in a correct way both viscosity and thermal conductivity. It was also shown that the enhancement of this basic physical properties might be described with good result with second degree polynomials. Finally, evaluation of the heat transfer performance was presented.
