Noble Nano fluids, engineered by dispersing noble metal nanoparticles in various base fluids, have garnered significant attention for their remarkable potential in enhancing heat transfer performance. This comprehensive review investigates the current state of noble nano fluids and their hybrids, emphasizing their role in improving thermal conductivity, convective heat transfer, and boiling heat transfer properties. The article explores synthesis methods, characterization techniques, and the influence of nanoparticle size, shape, and concentration on heat transfer enhancement. Additionally, it evaluates recent advancements in hybrid nano fluids by combining noble nanoparticles with other materials to achieve synergistic effects, providing insights into future research directions and the potential applications of these innovative fluids in diverse heat transfer systems. Efficient heat transfer plays a pivotal role in various industrial, thermal management, and energy conversion applications [1]. The integration of nanoparticles into base fluids to form nanofluids has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance heat transfer performance. Among nanofluids, those incorporating noble metal nanoparticles, such as gold, silver, and platinum, have attracted substantial interest due to their unique properties and potential for significant thermal conductivity augmentation [2].
This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the current state of noble nanofluids and their hybrids, elucidating their synthesis methods, characterization techniques, and their impact on enhancing heat transfer properties. Moreover, it explores recent advancements in hybrid nanofluids by combining noble metal nanoparticles with other materials to achieve synergistic effects, paving the way for future advancements in heat transfer enhancement. Various synthesis techniques, including chemical reduction, green synthesis, and physical vapor deposition, are employed to fabricate noble metal nanoparticles. These methods influence particle size distribution, morphology, and stability, thereby impacting heat transfer properties [3].
Characterization tools such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and thermal conductivity measurement setups enable the assessment of nanoparticle size, shape, crystallinity, and their dispersion within the base fluid, crucial for understanding their influence on heat transfer performance. Noble metal nanoparticles dispersed in base fluids exhibit significantly enhanced thermal conductivity due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and quantum size effects. The enhancement in thermal conductivity contributes to improved convective heat transfer and boiling heat transfer characteristics of the nanofluids [4].
Recent advancements in hybrid nanofluids involve combining noble metal nanoparticles with other materials, such as carbon-based nanomaterials, polymers, or ceramics, to achieve synergistic effects. These hybrids often exhibit enhanced thermal stability, improved dispersion, and augmented heat transfer performance compared to conventional nanofluids. The versatility of noble nanofluid hybrids opens doors to diverse applications in thermal management systems, electronics cooling, renewable energy technologies, and heat exchangers. The tailored properties of these hybrids offer promising solutions for specific heat transfer challenges in various industrial sectors. Advancements in precise control over nanoparticle size, shape, and surface functionalization hold potential for optimizing heat transfer enhancement in noble nanofluids. Tailoring nanoparticles for specific heat transfer applications could unlock new frontiers in efficiency and performance [5].
Further exploration of innovative hybridization approaches involving noble metal nanoparticles with advanced materials, including 2D materials, Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), or bio-inspired materials, could lead to novel nanofluid formulations with superior heat transfer properties. Bridging the gap between lab-scale experiments and practical implementation remains a critical challenge. Scaling up production processes and addressing issues related to stability, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with existing systems are essential for real-world adoption of noble nanofluids and their hybrids. The evolution of noble nanofluids and their hybrids presents an exciting prospect for advancing heat transfer technologies. With their ability to significantly enhance thermal conductivity and improve heat transfer characteristics, these engineered fluids hold promise for revolutionizing heat exchange processes across various industries. Continued research efforts aimed at understanding fundamental mechanisms, optimizing nanoparticle design, and exploring novel hybridization strategies will drive the future of noble nanofluids towards practical applications, thereby revolutionizing heat transfer efficiency and sustainability.
