Zusammenfassung:N3; Extending the effective medium approximation with the fractal theory for describing nanoparticle clusters and their radius distribution, a predictive model is proposed for the effective thermal conductivity of nanoparticle suspension, combined with the consideration of size effect and surface adsorption effect of nanoparticles.The predicted effective thermal conductivity of nanoparticle suspension is consistent with experimental data in the dilute limit.
