OF BROWNIAN MOTION
Because of the size of
nanoparticles the Brownian motion of nanoparticles will be another potential
factor in calculating the thermal conductivity of nanofluids.
To develop such a
theory for the thermal conductivity of nanofluids they assumed that energy
transport in nanofluids involving four modes:
Collision between base fluid molecules.
Thermal diffusion in nanoparticles.
Collision between nanoparticles.
Thermal interaction of dynamic or dancing nanoparticles with base
fluid molecules.
