The Study of Thermal Conductivity Silver/Water Nanofluid
author
Abstract:
In present study, the thermal conductivity of silver/water nanofluid was investigated experimentally. Four different volume concentrations of nanofluids (2, 3, 5 and 10%) were prepared by dispersing silver nanoparticles in water. The properties of nanofluids were measured by varying the temperature from 20ºC to 100ºC and also, different sizes of nanoparticles dispersed in water (20-30, 50-60 and 100-110 nm). The obtained results demonstrate that the thermal conductivity of nanofluids is the function of volume concentration, nanoparticles size and temperature. In addition, the impact of nanoparticles on the viscosity of the fluid was studied at different concentrations.

A coupled molecular dynamics (MD)-stochastic model has been developed for predicting the thermal conductivity of a hypothetical water based Zn-nanofluid taking into account the heat transfer during and after collision of the nanoparticles with the heat source. The model has predicted a somewhat lower enhancement in thermal conductivity of water based Zn-nanofluid compared to water based Cu-nano...

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to simulate the thermal properties of a model fluid containing nanoparticles (nanofluid). By modeling transient absorption experiments, we show that they provide a reliable determination of interfacial resistance between the particle and the fluid. The flexibility of molecular simulation allows us to consider separately the effect of confinement, particle...

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to model the thermal properties of a fluid containing solid nanoparticles (nanofluid). The flexibility of molecular simulation allows us to consider the effects of particle mass, particle-particle and particle-fluid interaction and that of the spatial distribution of the particles on the thermal conductivity.

Heat transfer fluids have inherently low thermal conductivity that greatly limits the heat exchange efficiency. While the effectiveness of extending surfaces and redesigning heat exchange equipments to increase the heat transfer rate has reached a limit, many research activities have been carried out attempting to improve the thermal transport properties of the fluids by adding more thermally c...
