Abstract: Surfactants have been widely used in nanofluids——the new heat transfer working fluid as a dispersant. It's very important to study the characteristics of nanofluids in actual energy transfer system. Experimental study on the effect of surfactants on stability,thermal conductivity and viscosity of H2O-based nanofluids was specially summarized and compared,mechanism of surfactants in nanofluids and problems existing in current studies were stated and analyzed. Finally,four suggestions helping to improve effects of surfactants on the characteristics of H2O-based nanofluids were put forward,including the impact of mixed surfactant composition and proportion on stability,thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluids; methods,such as molecular dynamics simulations,to study effects of surfactants on the nanofluid properties; relationship between stability and thermal conductivity and viscosity in nanofluids with surfactants; and quantitative analysis of many uncertainties in nanofluids.

Key words: surfactants, nanofluids, stability, thermal conductivity, viscosity
