Abstract

One or more nanoparticles (NP) combined with a base fluid (BF) yields nanofluid (NF). Compared to BFs, NFs have superior thermal conductivity (TC). Numerous studies' conclusions showed that various factors affect an NF's heat transfer (HT) capability, including pH, BF type, nanocomponents, temperature, solid volume fraction (SVF), and NP size. This article examines the impact of these factors by considering TC experiments. Techniques for preparing NFs and approaches for improving their stability are discussed too. Additionally, theoretically related works, artificial intelligence (AI), and experimental techniques are explored as ways to predict the characteristics of NFs. Researchers comprehend the effects of NPs on human health and the environment as they evaluate TC experimentally; this subject was also covered, and the impact of NPs on different aspects of mankind, including health, the environment, and the industries that use NFs, was discussed. It was demonstrated that NPs can pose a risk to human health and cause permanent harm; furthermore, harmful to the environment, NPs can impact animals, soil, and water. It was shown that the main barriers in front of widespread application of NFs are the lack of laboratory methods standardization for reliable comparison, the NFs stability, environmental and health impacts of NPs, and suitable regulations.

综合研究预测方法、应用、挑战和影响纳米流体热物理行为的因素

一种或多种纳米颗粒（NP）与基液（BF）结合产生纳米流体（NF）。与BFs相比，NFs具有更好的导热性（TC）。大量研究的结论表明，影响NF传热（HT）能力的因素多种多样，包括pH、BF类型、纳米组分、温度、固体体积分数（SVF）和NP大小。本文通过考虑TC实验来检验这些因素的影响。本文还讨论了纳米碳纳米管的制备技术和提高纳米碳纳米管稳定性的途径。此外，理论相关工作、人工智能（AI）和实验技术被探索作为预测NFs特性的方法。研究人员通过实验评估TC，了解NPs对人类健康和环境的影响；会议还讨论了这一问题，并讨论了NPs对人类不同方面的影响，包括健康、环境和使用NPs的行业。结果表明，新物质可能对人类健康构成风险并造成永久性伤害；此外，NPs对环境有害，可以影响动物、土壤和水。研究表明，纳米颗粒广泛应用的主要障碍是缺乏标准化的实验室方法进行可靠的比较，纳米颗粒的稳定性、环境和健康影响以及适当的法规。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review. The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are: * Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow * Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media * Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change * Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer * Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...) * Multiscale modelling The applied research topics include: * Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes * Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries) * Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices * Heat transport analysis in advanced systems * Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
