Thermal Conductivity
The enhancement in thermal conductivity cal be computed
by solving the Classical Heat conduction (HCE) under
relevant boundary conditions. This exercise involves solving
unsteady coupled nonlinear equations of the Elliptic type
which are generally in homogeneous due to the source
function. The boundary conditions are of the Neumann
Diritchlet type. A simpler, empirical relationship for the
thermal conductivity with a reasonable accuracy has been
suggested. This expression is particularly applicable to nanofluid
and to an extent to Ferro-fluids of the magnetite type.
