The research work presented here intends to contribute the overall effort towards nanofluids engineering and characterization. To accomplish latter, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are added an ethylene glycol (EG) based fluid. Different aspects concerning preparation its thermal characterization will be addressed. study considers exploits relative influence of CNTs concentration on EG fluids, suspension effective conductivity viscosity. In order guarantee a high-quality dispersion it...
This study presents the work carried out toward establishment of a methodology that enables production long-term MWCNT-based nanofluids with highest thermal conductivities. To this end, parametric analysis shelf life and heat conduction capacity is performed. It intended to ascertain whether longest term nanofluid one best transfer capability. successfully quantify colloidal stability, an innovative technique allows for nonintrusive measurement settling velocity during centrifugation...
SUMMARY The intriguing behaviour of carbon nanotube suspensions shows that thermal conduction cannot be described by conventional approaches. These results led the researchers on percolation and interfacial layer resistance (also known as Kapitza resistance) main mechanisms governing effective conductivity enhancement for these nanoparticles suspensions. A numerical simulation suspensions, when subjected to a Brownian force field, was conducted characterize factors affecting dynamic...
