Abstract
The heat transfer enhancement revealed experimentally in nanofluids suspensions is being investigated theoretically at the macro-scale level aiming at explaining the possible mechanisms that lead to such impressive experimental results. In particular, while the possibility that thermal wave effects via hyperbolic heat conduction could have explain the excessively improved effective thermal conductivity of the suspension the comparison with experimental results rules-out this explanation.
