Ionanofluids are a very new class of heat transfer
fluids with multiple applications in many area and especially in
the solar area. Ionic liquids (ILs) are the organic salts having a
low melting point (below 100 °C), which are already considered
as a potential new heat transfer fluid in the solar thermal
collector and potential replacement of several organic solvents in
chemical industry for reaction and separation systems. The
increasing interests of ILs are due to their excellent physical and
chemical properties.
It has to be pointed out in this stage that Ionanofluids are mostly
developed for use in the medium-to-high-temperature heat
transfer systems, different from the nanofluids based on water
and ethylene glycol that are to be considered at lower
temperatures. Moreover, the thermophysical properties of ILs
can be enhanced by inserting and dispersing small percentages of
nanoparticles, which is called Nanoparticle Enhanced Ionic
Liquids (NEILs) or, shortly, ionanofluids. Results on
temperature and concentration dependence of thermal
conductivity and viscosity of various ionanofluids obtained from
different groups together with the data of water based nanofluids
from literature are to be presented and discussed in this paper,
outlining the benefits and drawbacks.
