In the name of my lovelyGod

1.Introduction• Nanofluids are a relatively new class of fluids which consist of a base fluid

with nano-sized particles (1–100 nm) suspended within them

• Nanofluids possess the following advantages : High dispersion stability Reduced pumping power Reduced particle clogging Adjustable properties
