Rotation and migration of nanoparticles for heat transfer augmentation in nanofluids by molecular dynamics simulation

Nanofluids are a new generation of high-efficiency refrigerant with abnormal increased thermal conductivity and convective heat transfer properties. In view of the paucity of research work on the contribution of nanoparticle Brownian motion for the thermal conductivity augmentation, the present pape...
