Opis

Micro fluidics, a technology characterized by the engineered manipulation of fluids at the sub-millimeter scale, has shown considerable promise for improving diagnostics and biology research. Certain properties of micro fluidic technologies, such as rapid sample processing and the precise control of fluids in an assay, have made them attractive candidates to replace traditional experimental approaches. The key building blocks of nano fluids are nanoparticles; so research on nano fluids has been accelerated because of the development of nanotechnology in general and availability of nanoparticles in particular. Since the properties like the thermal conductivity of the nano sized materials are typically an order of magnitude higher than those of the base fluids, nano fluids also show enhancement in their effective thermal properties.
