  abstract = {<p><span>Using effective medium theory the authors demonstrate that the&nbsp;</span>thermal conductivity<span>&nbsp;of nanofluids can be significantly enhanced by the&nbsp;</span>aggregation<span>&nbsp;of&nbsp;</span>nanoparticles<span>&nbsp;into clusters. Predictions of the effective medium theory are in excellent agreement with detailed numerical calculation on&nbsp;</span>model<span>&nbsp;nanofluids involving&nbsp;</span>fractal<span>&nbsp;clusters and show the importance of cluster morphology on&nbsp;</span>thermal conductivity<span>&nbsp;enhancements.</span></p>},
