| Abstract: | The advent of nanotechnology in the 21st
century opened a new branch of nanoscience known as
nanofluids, finding a wide range of industrial applications
especially in heat transfer. Though the theory of thermal
conductivity of solids is well established, there is no such
conclusive model to explain the thermal conductivity of
nanofluids. In the present work we propose a generalized
theory for thermal conductivity applicable to materials ranging
from heterogeneous solids, porous materials, nanofluids, and
ferrofluids. The model could explain the effective thermal
conductivity of not only the combination of solids but also
solid−fluid mixtures. The proposed theory could successfully
link the existing models for porous solid materials and
nanofluids as its special cases. The proposed model is verified against experimental data by simulating the theoretical equations |
