Abstract
Nanofluid, which is a suspension of nanoparticles, has the potential to be a heat transfer fluid with a wide range of applications due to its superior thermal conductivity and rheological properties. This article summarises both previous and current research on nanofluid heat transfer improvement. A survey was done on the most recent advancements in readiness and stability improvement. The discussion included thermophysical properties, heat transfer properties of nanofluids and the impact of surfactant, temperature, particle size, shape and other variables on thermal conductivity. The current study proposes potential possibilities through the utilisation of nanofluids. A few challenges and roadblocks were also discussed. The challenges and opportunities for further research were finally covered.
