11.6 Thermal conductivity ratio of different nanofluids as a function of
temperature.
ethylene glycol and water fall between the two in heat transfer extremes.
Though this is the general trend, it is not the overall trend since some articles
report the thermal conductivity ratio of water based nanofluids as higher
than that of ethylene glycol based nanofluids (Chopkar et al., 2006, 2007).
11.3.6 Effect of temperature
Temperature has a strong influence on the thermal conductivity ratio of
nanofluids. The effect of temperature on the thermal conductivity ratio for
different nanofluids is graphically represented in Fig. 11.6. Experimental
