Industrial Application of Nanofluids: A Review

Nanotechnology has a huge impact on modern industry where nanomaterials are applied for numerous application and thus increasing the efficiency of any system to maximum possibilities. Nanofluids, which are prepared by dispersing nanoparticle into a base fluid, have huge potential in industrial application. Low cost additives like nanoparticle play a vital role in modern industry. This review on nanofluids consisting nanoparticle made of titanium, copper, aluminum, silver, Iron, Single Wall Nanotube (SWNT), Multi Wall Nanotube (MWNT) and many more as base elements .These are currently in application for lubrication, Refrigeration, automobile, coating, heat transfer, machining of various materials and electronics. Researches have substituted conventional fluid with nanofluids and briefly mention about various Industrial application and potential scope for contribution of nanofluid technology in research centers, academics centers, and industrial sectors. This study will also mention the challenges for implementation of nanofluid in various applications.
