Synthesising Nanofluids Using Laser Induced Plasma

Abstract

Nanofluids hold enhanced physical, chemical, thermal and transport characteristics compared to the base fluids, which signify a great potential for a variety of applications including combustion, liquid propellant, microelectronics, optical and thermal emission devices, energy storage, heat exchanger-cooling systems, hydrogen generation, nuclear safety, and in underwater and military applications. Nanofluids are a new class of fluids engineered by dispersing nanoparticles of size less than 100 nm in base fluids.
