Nanofluids have evoked immense interest from researchers of multi-disciplines from around the globe due to their fascinating thermophysical properties and numerous potential benefits and applications in important fields such as microelectronics, microfluidics, transportation, and biomedical....

New expressions for the thermal conductivity of a multicomponent mixture of polyatomic gases have been derived within the semi-classical Wang Chang-Uhlenbeck kinetic theory. Using the Wang Chang-Uhlenbeck formulation of the solution of the kinetic equations, the thermal conductivity is written...

The paper presents rigorous working equations for an automatic Wheatstone bridge employed in fluid thermal conductivity measurements by the transient hot-wire technique. Particular attention is concentrated upon the inevitable small differences between the two wires employed for the cancellation...
