Summary
Although extensive research on nanofluids have been conducted since coining this new class of fluids and good progress has been made in some areas particularly experimental measurements of thermophysical properties, there are lot of tough challenges and unsolved issues remain in the nanofluids research. The success of nanofluids research towards their practical application and commercialization for the socioeconomic benefits depends on the true research progress by resolving the unknown or mysterious issues, identifying and understanding the underlying heat transfer mechanisms and overcoming the challenges. Arguably about two decades have been passed since the innovation of the concept of nanofluids at Argonne National Laboratory of USA and according to recent records of research publications from all over the world suggested that this novel class of fluids is a hot research topic. It is therefore important and timely to summarize progress and addresses the major challenges of nanofluids research and this chapter briefly reviews the development and challenges of research in various areas of nanofluids.
