Are nanofluids a solution?What are the limitations of the use of such fluids? This article proposes a review of thermo physicals coefficients of carbonnanotube-water nanofluids. This article reports on an experimental study completed to observe the impacts of the concentration, temperature, aspect ratio, and surfactant on the thermal conductivity and viscosity. Finally this article advocates a field for using nanofluid in heat exchangers. %G English %L hal-01253717 %U https://univ-rennes.hal.science/hal-01253717 %~ UNIV-RENNES1 %~ INSA-RENNES %~ LGCGM-INSA %~ LGCGM %~ UR1-HAL %~ UR1-SDLM %~ UR1-SDLMJONCH %~ TEST-UNIV-RENNES %~ TEST-UR-CSS %~ UNIV-RENNES %~ INSA-GROUPE %~ UR1-MMS
