We formulate a model to predict the thermal conductivity of carbon nanotube nanorefrigerants. The interfacial layer has proved to be a significant factor responsible for the anomalous thermal conductivity enhancement of these nanofluids. The present model predicts the thermal conductivity in accordance with the experimental results with mean deviation only of 1.5%. A comparison with other models has also been made.
