There is also increasing evidence that the application of ionic liquid can broaden the scope of catalytic behavior.

A collimated laser beam passes through a cell of nanofluids and then enters a moire deflectometer. Due to a temperature gradient in the nanofluids, a prism-like medium is formed. The propagation direction of the beam is changed and the moire fringes are displaced. Finally, thermal conductivity of the nano-fluids may be determined from the moire fringe displacement. The temperature gradient is then calculated using a simple model based on the Fourier law of heat transfer.
