the first time on the basis of the collision-mediatedheattransfermodel for nanofluids proposed earlier by our research group. Based on the continuum simulation coupled with stochastic analysis, the present theoretical prediction agrees well with the experimental observations from different
insignificant, if the dispersed material was ceramic (typically Al2O3). In this paper we put forward a quantitative analysis based on the collision-mediatedheattransfermodel for water-based Al2O3 nanofluids, which can account for the difference in the thermal conductivity values of nanofluids obtained by LFM
now be demonstrated that the experimentally observed differences between the conductivity values obtained by LFM and THWM can be quantitatively accounted for on the basis of the present collision-mediatedheattransfermodel of nanofluids.
