Abstract
Nanofluids—fluid suspensions of nanometer-sized structures (particles, fibers, tubes, droplets)—are research challenges of rare potential but daunting difficulty. The potential comes from both scientific and practical opportunities in many fields. The difficulty reflects the issues related to multiscales. Nanofluids involve at least four relevant scales: molecular scale, microscale, macroscale and megascale. By their very nature, the research and engineering practice in nanofluids aim to enhance fluid macroscale and megascale performance through manipulating microscale physics (structures, properties and activities). Therefore, the success of nanofluid technology depends very much on how well we can address issues such as (i) how to effectively manipulate at the microscale, (ii) what the interplays are among physics at different scales, and (iii) how to optimize microscale physics for optimal megascale performance. In this talk, we summarize our work on addressing these three key issues with powerful microfluidic technology, thermal-wave theory and constructal theory.
