TI  - A comprehensive review on theoretical aspects of nanofluids: Exact solutions and analysis
ID  - scholars13185
N2  - In the present era, nanofluids are one of the most important and hot issue for scientists, physicists, and mathematicians. Nanofluids have many important and updated characteristics compared to conventional fluids. The thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, and the heat transfer rate of conventional fluids are not up to the mark for industrial and experimental uses. To overcome these deficiencies, nanoparticles have been dispersed into base fluids to make them more efficient. The heat transfer characteristics through symmetry trapezoidal-corrugated channels can be enhanced using nanofluids. In the present article, a literature survey has been presented for different models of nanofluids and their solutions-particularly, exact solutions. The models for hybrid nanofluids were also mentioned in the present study. Furthermore, some important and most used models for the viscosity, density, coefficient of thermal expansion, coefficient of mass expansion, heat capacitance, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity are also presented in tabular form. Moreover, some future suggestions are also provided in this article. © 2020 by the authors.
