The use of nanoparticles in heat transfer fluids, then known as nanofluids, increases their specific heat and thermal conductivity. Recent experimental works highlight that anomalous transport phenomena are evident in nanofluids that cannot be adequately described by classical conservation laws. We will extend these conservation laws to incorporate fractional operators to capture the fluid memory effects and the impact of particle clustering. Computational modelling and experimental investigations will be undertaken to identify the heat transfer mechanisms of various nanofluids. The outcomes of the work will increase knowledge on nanofluids and offer a significant opportunity to improve the efficiency of many thermal engineering systems.

在传热流体中使用纳米颗粒，然后称为纳米流体，增加了其比热和导热率。最近的实验著作强调，在纳米流体中，异常的转运现象是明显的，这些现象是经典保护法无法充分描述的。我们将扩展这些保护定律，以结合分数操作员以捕获流体记忆效应和颗粒聚类的影响。将进行计算建模和实验研究，以确定各种纳米流体的传热机制。工作的结果将增加对纳米流体的知识，并为提高许多热工程系统的效率提供了重要的机会。
