‘Nanofluids’ are created by suspending nanoparticles in water or other liquids. And these Nanofluids can transfer heat up to 400% faster than other liquids! Professor Richard Williams and Dr Yulong Ding have created these ‘nanofluids’.
The nanofluids could increase efficiency without the need to use a more powerful pump in a central heating system. Thus, it saves energy providing major environmental benefits. Working on these ‘nanofluids’, the University of Leeds now has one of the largest teams in the world and the only group in the UK.
By overcoming one of the main limitations on developing smaller microchips — rapid heat dissipation, the fluids could open the door to the next generation of computers.
