Nanofluids are engineered colloidal suspensions of nanoparticles in conventional heat transfer fluids, such as water, ethylene glycol, or oil. When nanoparticles, typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in size, are dispersed in these fluids, they can significantly enhance the thermal conductivity and heat transfer characteristics compared to the base fluid alone.
