✦ Synopsis

Based on the effective medium approximation and the fractal theory for the description of nanoparticle cluster and its radial distribution, a method for modeling the effective thermal conductivity of ''nanofluid'' is established. The size effect and the surface adsorption of nanoparticles are taken into considerations. The proposed fractal model is discussed in detail for its application, and it predicts quite well with our recent measuring data for dilute suspensions of metallic oxide nanoparticles.

## Abstract A simple mathematical model for calculating the effective thermal conductivity of nanofluids has been developed based on the thermal resistance approach. The model is developed by considering both effects of a solid‐like nanolayer and convective heat transfer caused by Brownian motion w

An enhanced thermal conduction model for predicting convection dominated solid-liquid phase change is presented. The main feature of the model is to predict (1) the overall thermal behavior of the system and (2) the phase front position without recurring to the full solution of the Navier-Stokes equ
