During the NANOUPTAKE COST Action, the state of the art regarding evaluation of nanofluids as advanced materials to increase the efficiency of different energy processes has been developed. With this present NANOConVEX CIG proposal, a relevant step forward to reach the market is defined. The main objective is adapting nanofluids to specific heat transfer processes, so that the combination of both can bring solutions that are more efficient to a wide range of the European industries where these processes play a key role. The main outcomes are practical guidelines, specifically oriented for the industry, for the safe and efficient use of nanofluids as enhanced heat carrier in convective heat exchangers, including also a specific Case Study. In combination with the Business Plan to be developed, significant results in terms of marketable applications in the field of heat exchangers are anticipated.
