In this paper, a new theoretical model has been developed to predict the thermal conductivity of nanofluids. The new model combines the static mechanism considering the nanolayer effect and the dynamic mechanism considering the nanoparticle vibration effect. Comparison of the new model predictions with the experimental data available in literature shows good agreement at 0-2 vol% of nanoparticle volume fractions. The new model also gives better predictions compared to the Maxwell model.
