Heat transfer measurements of Polyalpha-Olefin- boron nitride nanofluids for thermal management and lubrication applications by Sleiti, Ahmad K.

“…The heat transfer enhancement in terms of Nussel Number showed average and maximum values of 10%–13%, 17%–20% and 26%–29% for hBN concentration of 0.25%, 0.6% and 1%, respectively. Two competing phenomena affect the heat transfer performance: the increase/decrease in resistance to thermal diffusion sublayer when thermal conductivity increases and viscosity decreases, respectively. …”
