ABSTRACT
Using transient hot wire method, the effective thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), silver nanowires and copper nanowires based nanofluids were measured. Taking n as fitting parameter, the Hamilton-Crosser model can fit well with the experimental results, which shows that shape factor should play a great role in the thermo-physical properties of the nanofluids.
