Analytical-statistical review of selected researches in the field of thermal conductivity of nanofluids

The present perusal provides a statistical overview about studies based on the thermal conductivity (TC) of nanofluids (NFs). Selected studies were first identified by a specific research method and their articles were collected. Then, by examining the statistical population, the present study is divided into four different sections, including most repeated keywords, articles publication year, most applied nanoparticles (NPs), and most active and pioneering countries. This research is a statistical research method in the field of published articles on the field of TC of NFs, according to the author, this type of method has not been done in previous studies with a statistical view. The results of the studies show that the keywords TC, NFs, and Al2O3 were identified with the highest repetition rates. It was also found that about 78% of all studies were between 2016 and 2021. Common NPs include Al2O3, CNT, and TiO2. In addition, India, Iran, China, and Malaysia accounted for the largest share of the study. Many great scientists in the world focus on the TC of NFs, which indicates a favorable growth in understanding these thermal properties of NFs. [Display omitted]
