Abstract
A flow system for avoiding particle agglomeration in nanofluids, including a flow restrictive element, wherein the flow restrictive element in use provides sudden expansion to the fluid such that cavitation takes place the fluid upon exiting the flow restrictive element. The flow system includes the flow restrictive element having a hydraulic diameter within a range between 0.5 μm and 250 μm, a vicinity of the flow restrictive element is provided with a heater, adapted to heat the nanofluid in the vicinity of the flow restrictive element.
