متن کاملProbing Transport Mechanisms in Nanofluids by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Enhanced thermal conduction in nanofluids is an observed phenomenon for which the underlying mechanistic processes are still being debated. We perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the time-dependent heat current correlation to obtain the systematic, dynamical details at the atomistic level. Using a model system of Xe base fluid and Pt nanoparticles, we obtain the enhancement effects w...
