Molecular dynamic simulation on the density of titanium dioxide and silver water-based nanofluids using ternary mixture model

This study utilizes molecular dynamics simulations to scrutinize the influence of type and volume fraction nanoparticle on density nanofluids, i.e. silver (as a hydrophilic case) titanium dioxide hydrophobic water-based nanofluids. Ionic structure TiO2 distinguishes solid-liquid interactions with those in silver-water nanofluid. The thickness nanolayer is estimated from profile formed around included calculation. It found that interatomic potential between surrounding water can highly affect nanolayer. hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity great importance its thickness. observed difference traditional binary mixture ternary formula for calculating nanofluid increases by increasing nanoparticle. indicates effect gets more considerable at high fractions.
