This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This Small Business Technology Transfer Research Phase I project seeks to develop advanced heat transfer fluids using nano-structured carbons. Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with a thermal conductivity of ~2000 W/m-K, are proposed at loadings which do not sacrifice fluid flow and viscosity. Nanofluids will be fabricated by tailoring the CNFs structure and surface functionalities to meet the above specifications. If successfully commercialized, Nanofluids will make significant energy efficiency and cost reduction gains for air conditioning, and will be useful for cooling of under-the-hood electronics of hybrid electric and electric vehicles and high power microelectronic devices.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该小型企业技术转让研究第一阶段项目旨在开发使用纳米结构碳的先进传热流体。碳纳米纤维（CNF）的热导率约为2000 W/m-K，提出在负载不牺牲流体流动和粘度。纳米流体将通过定制CNF结构和表面功能来制造，以满足上述规格。如果成功商业化，纳米流体将为空调带来显著的能源效率和成本降低收益，并将用于混合动力和电动汽车以及高功率微电子设备的发动机罩下电子设备的冷却。
