“…Results from our studies [7][8]36] showed that ionanofluids containing MWCNT exhibit enhanced thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity compared to their base ionic liquids, a fact confirmed by [42].These properties further increase with concentration of nanoparticles and fluid temperature in some extend. Other attractive features of ionanofluids are that they are designable and fine-tuneable through their base ionic liquids for desired properties and tasks.…”

“…While the term nanofluids was coined by Steve Choi in 1995 [1], the concept of ionanofluids has recently been devised by Nieto de Castro and co-workers [2]. Nanofluids are prepared by dispersing nanometersized particles in traditional heat transfer fluids such as water, ethylene glycol and engine oil.…”

“…Regarding the thermal conductivity of ionic liquids, it appears to be slightly higher than that of the organic molecular liquids (Ribeiro et al, 2009) and almost independent of temperature. It is remarked, however, that the knowledge about the relation between the thermal conductivity and the molecular structure is still very limited .…”

New technology requirements derived from the exploitation of novel energy resources, and the needs for improvement of the energy efficiency of current power generation systems are pushing the industry towards the search of alternative working fluids. The great challenge for these non-conventional fluids is to provide satisfactory performances and fill the existing lack of media for some innovative energy applications. In this review a number of emerging working fluids for thermal power generation are presented. Also, a special emphasis is devoted to the discussion about new promising fluids, such as nanofluids or ionic liquids, that could be an important breakdown for power generation in the near future.
