• Abstract: Heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids have been extensively studied since the 1990s. Research investigations show that the suspended nanoparticles significantly alter the suspension's thermal properties. The thermal conductivity of nanofluids is one of the properties that is generally found to be greater than that of the base fluid. This increase in thermal conductivity is found to depend on several parameters. Several theories have been proposed to model the thermal conductivities of nanofluids, but there is no reliable universal theory yet to model the anomalous thermal conductivity of nanofluids. In recent years, supervised data-driven methods have been successfully employed to create surrogate models across various scientific disciplines, especially for modeling difficult-to-understand phenomena. These supervised learning methods allow the models to capture highly non-linear phenomena. In this work, we have taken advantage of existing correlations and used them concurrently with available experimental results to develop more robust surrogate models for predicting the thermal conductivity of nanofluids. Artificial neural networks are trained using the transfer learning approach to predict the thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids with spherical particles for 32 different particle-fluid combinations (8 particles materials and 4 fluids). The large amount of lower accuracy data generated from correlations is used to coarse-tune the model parameters, and the limited amount of more trustworthy experimental data is used to fine-tune the model parameters. The transfer learning-based models' results are compared with those from baseline models which are trained only on experimental data using a goodness of fit metric. It is found that the transfer learning models perform better with goodness of fit values of 0.93 as opposed to 0.83 from the baseline models.
