We collected literature data of thermal conductivity experimentally measuredin ethylene glycol-based nanofluids and investigated the influence ofconcentration, temperature and nanoparticle size. We implemented statisticallinear regression analysis of all data points and examined four separatenanoparticle materials - alumina, titania, copper oxide and carbon-nanotubes.We found that the statistical correlations are in good agreement with Maxwell'seffective medium theory, despite large scatter in the data. The thermalconductivity increases linearly with concentration, and in the case ofcarbon-nanotubes with temperature, whereas the nanoparticle size showssignificant influence for alumina and titania. The large scatter in theexperimental data is one of the main problems. We suggest that there is a needfor careful, detailed characterizations and measurements to quantify thepotential of nanofluids.
