abstract

experimental study of effective thermal conductivity of zno/eg nanofluid is presented in thisresearch. the nanofluid was prepared by dispersing zno nanoparticles in ethylene glycol using asonicator and adding surfactant. ethylene glycol based nanofluid containing zno nanoparticlewith a nominal diameter of 18 nm at different solid volume fractions (very low to high) atvarious temperatures was examined for the investigation. the thermal conductivity of nanofluidsis experimentally measured with thw method and it is found that the thermal conductivity ofnanofluids increase with the nanoparticle volume concentration and temperature. also, based onexperimental values of thermal conductivity of nanofluid, three experimental models areproposed to predict thermal conductivity of nanofluids. the proposed models show reasonablyexcellent agreement with our experimental results.

An experimental investigation on effect of hybrid solid MWCNTs and MgO on thermal conductivity of ethylene glycol

In recent decade, the new advanced nanofluids, composed from various particles, have attracted the attention of researchers. This class of nanofluids, which can be prepared by suspending several types (two or more than two) of nanoparticles in base fluid, is termed as hybrid nanofluids. In this work, an experimental investigation on the effects of temperature and concentration of nanoparticles ...

Investigation of the effect of temperature and concentration of ceramic nanoparticles on the thermal conductivity of water-ethylene glycol / nano Alumina-nano Graphen hybrid nanofluid

Nanofluid is a suspension obtained by adding nanoscale particles (100 nm) to a base fluid to improve heat transfer. In this study, the effect of temperature and concentration of nanoparticles consisting of Alumina nanoparticles and Graphene nanosheets on the thermal conductivity of a base fluid consisting of water and ethylene glycol was studied. Also, 0.2% by volume of oleic acid (OA) and 0.2%...
