This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will demonstrate the development of an innovative liquid combustion process for continuous production of nanofluids with suspended unagglomerated metallic and non-metallic nanopowders of uniform size and composition. It has been demonstrated that fluids containing solid metallic nanoparticles -nanofluids- display significantly enhanced thermal conductivities relative to conventional heat transfer fluids. A related goal of this effort is the development of a new large-eddy simulation (LES) model for nanoparticle formation and aggregation coupled to local Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation models. This numerical tool will be applied to design process parameters to produce the desired particle size distribution. The use of nanofluids can impact many industrial sectors, including transportation, electronics, energy supply, textiles etc. Mostly all the sectors that have thermal-management systems will benefit from this project.

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目将展示一种创新的液体燃烧过程的发展，用于连续生产具有均匀尺寸和成分的悬浮未团聚金属和非金属纳米粉末的纳米流体。已经证明，含有固体金属纳米颗粒的流体-纳米流体-显示出相对于常规传热流体显著增强的热导率。 这项工作的一个相关目标是发展一个新的大涡模拟（LES）模型的纳米粒子的形成和聚集耦合到本地分子动力学（MD）和蒙特卡罗（MC）模拟模型。该数值工具将用于设计工艺参数，以产生所需的粒度分布。 纳米流体的使用可以影响许多工业部门，包括运输，电子，能源供应，纺织等，大多数具有热管理系统的部门将受益于该项目。
