So, the nanofluids employed in experimental research need to be well characterized with respect to particle size, size distribution, shape and clustering of the particles so as to render the results most widely applicable.
As per the application, either a low or high molecular weight fluid can be used as the host fluid for nanofluid synthesis. The dispersion of nanoparticles in a base fluid has been done either by a two-step method or by a single step method. In either case, a well-mixed and uniformly dispersed Nanofluid is needed for successful reproduction of properties and interpretation of experimental data. As the name implies the two step method involves two stages, first stage is the processing of nanoparticles following a standard physical or chemical method and in the second step proceeds to disperse a desired volume fraction of nanoparticles uniformly in the base
