Nanofluids are engineered by suspending nanoparticles in convectional heat transfer fluids to enhance thermal conductivity. This study is aimed at identifying the role of nanoparticle aggregation in enhancing the thermal conductivity of nanofluids. Molecular dynamic simulation with the Green Kubo me...
