Abstract

In the study, it has been observed that there are many alternatives for the usage areas of nanofluids formed by dispersing solid particles of nanometric size (1-100 nm) in a basic fluid, as well as these fluids are efficient in both solar energy systems and other thermal systems. In this study, widely used nanofluids in heating and cooling systems and their application areas were investigated. It was observed that when nanofluids with different parameters are used, it affects thermal conductivity efficiency.
