Evaluation and optimization of the thermal conductivity enhancement of a water-based GO nanosheets/Au NPs hybrid nanofluid: Box-Behnken design

In this work, a decorated graphene oxide with gold nanoparticle (GO/Au NP)/water hybrid nanofluid was prepared as an efficient hybrid nanofluid for thermal conductivity enhancement. The impact of essential parameters on the enhancement of the thermal conductivity was optimized using the Box-Behnken design.
