In the last decade, nanofluids have attracted more attention as a new method of enhancement heat transfer properties for various industrial applications. Researchers found that although the nanfluid enhance the heat transfer rate of the fluids, the nanoparticles also cause an increase of viscous and further causes an increase of the power consumption to pump the nanofluids. Is there any study that highlights the cost of using nanofluids?
Hello,
I recommend you this good review paper :

Hi, please go through the following papers.
1. Empirical study and model development of thermal conductivity improvement and assessment of cost and sensitivity of EG-water based SWCNT-ZnO (30%:70%) hybrid nanofluid
2. Price-performance evaluation of thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids with different particle sizes
3. Improving the performance of refrigeration systems by using nanofluids: A comprehensive review.
Dear Mounir, Tahir and Shakhaoath
I appreciate your comments.
Thank you very much.

Practically speaking, nanofluids are expensive. Yuan and Wang (2018) remarked that despite the amazing performance of nanoparticles to solve problems, the high cost of nanofluids utilization is always one of the most important reasons that may hinder the application of nanofluids in the industry.
