Nanorefrigerants: A Review on Thermophysical Properties and Their Heat Transfer Performance

Abstract

The last decade has seen the rapid enhancement of nanofluid in several ways. Nanofluid with refrigerant base have been introduced as nanorefrigerant in recent years due to their significant effects on the efficiency of heat transfer. A brief review of past studies on nanorefrigerants and their performance in thermodynamics and heat transfer area are reported in this paper. Some current challenges and future prospect of nanorefrigerant will also be highlighted.
