Ionanofluids: A review on its properties and thermal applications

Rahaf Almutairi, Feroz Shaik, Syam Sundar Lingala

Abstract. The dispersion of nanoparticles (NPs) into ionic liquids results in ionanofluids (INFs) (ILs). INFs are regarded as the newest type of heat transfer fluids (HTFs). INFs are discovered to improve the fluids’ thermophysical characteristics at high temperatures with negligible vapor pressure. The preparation techniques and theoretical models used to calculate the physical characteristics of ionofluids, including their density, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal applications, are summarized in this work.
