Abstract

Nanoparticles are being used in fluids to enhance the thermal conductivity, but published results are inconsistent. A possible explanation for this inconsistency is that nanoparticles may migrate under the action of temperature gradient counteracting Brownian diffusion. This work focuses on looking at the potential for particle migration due to thermophoresis.
