Since the pioneering experimental studies on the effective thermal conductivity of nanofluids conducted between 1993 and 1995 by the Institute of Fluid Science at Tohoku University (Japan) and Argonne National Laboratory (USA), research in this field has expanded significantly.
Between 1993 and 2020, approximately 2000 experimental studies were published, reporting measurements of the effective thermal conductivity of a wide variety of nanofluids. Despite this growth, the data remain widely dispersed throughout the literature, hindering systematic comparison and reuse.
The NanoTC-DB project addresses this gap by compiling, curating, and organizing experimental thermal conductivity data of nanofluids into a single, open-access database for researchers and industry.
At present, the database covers a selected range of widely used nanoparticle/base fluid combinations, summarized below, comprising 2139 experimental data points for 14 different systems over a broad range of particle concentrations, temperatures, and particle sizes.
