MHD Convection of Nanofluids: A Review

Many researchers have reported significant enhancement of nanofluids’ thermal properties due to the suspension of modest nanoparticle concentrations in low thermal conductivity base fluids. Most of the nanofluids literature concentrates on the development and understanding of nanofluids properties models and their behavior as heating or cooling mechanisms in many industrial, engineering and technological applications. In the past decade, a lot of work has been done on MHD convective flow of nanofluids, but the review of these types of flow and heat transfer situations is absent from the literature till date. This paper reviews some of the available nanofluids physical properties models and focuses on presenting the various research work done on MHD convection of nanofluids in various geometries and applications.
