Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In last two decades, advances in nanotechnology and nanomaterials have led to the development of new class of heat transfer fluids (Nanofluids) containing nanoparticles (nano-meter sized) usually made up of metals, carbides, oxides or carbon nanotubes. Among other methods to increase heat transfer efficiency, one way is to increase the thermal conductivity of the working fluid. Nanofluids exhibit superior heat transfer characteristics to conventional heat transfer fluids. Due to these enhanced properties, nanofluids are used in several electronic applications (cooling of microchips, fluidic digital display devices, micro-electromechanical systems, micro-reactors, etc.), pharmaceutical processes, transportation industry, in biomedical (Nano drug delivery, cancer therapeutics, cryopreservation, nano cryosurgery, sensing and imaging, etc.) and many others. A nanofluid coolant could flow through tiny passages in MEMS to improve its efficiency. Nanofluids can be used to cool automobile engines and welding equipment and to cool high heat-flux devices such as high power microwave tubes and high-power laser diode arrays. Explicitly, ethylene glycol-based nanofluid is used as a medium for convective heat transfer in liquid cooled computers and automobiles.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the impact of new research on heat transfer with nanofluid properties.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
