Carbon nanotube–graphene-based nanofluids: a comprehensive review on the role of thermal conductivity and its solar energy applications

Nowadays, nanofluids are considered as excellent working fluids with good thermophysical properties for augmenting the heat transfer in solar systems. Consisting of single-phase nanopowder, metal oxide-based nanofluids exhibit either a good thermal network or good physicochemical properties. Allotro...
