Thermal conductivity enhancements in ethylene glycol and synthetic engine oil in the presence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) are investigated. CNT nanofluids are prepared using a two-step method. The volume concentration of CNTβethylene glycol suspensions is below 1.0 vol.% and that of CNT

A novel expression for the thermal conductivity of nanofluids is proposed, which incorporates the kinetic theory to describe the contribution of the Brownian motion of the nanoparticles with a more realistic definition of the mean free path, and additionally to consider the contribution of the inter
Introduction to nanofluidsβtheir properties, synthesis, characterization, and applications Nanofluids are attracting a great deal of interest with their enormous potential to provide enhanced performance properties, particularly with respect to heat transfer. In response, this text takes you on a c
Nanofluids are prepared by dispersing TiO 2 nanoparticles in rod-shapes of β 10 nm Γ 40 nm (diameter by length) and in spherical shapes of β 15 nm in deionized water. A transient hot-wire apparatus with an integrated correlation model is used to measure the thermal conductivities of these nanofluids m
We apply the chemical solution method to synthesize Cu 2 O nanofluids: suspensions of cuprous-oxide (Cu 2 O) nanoparticles in water, and experimentally study the effect of reactant molar concentration and nanofluid temperature on the thermal conductivity. Substantial conductivity enhancement up to 2
