  • The thermal conductivity of alumina nanofluids in water, Ethylene Glycol, and Ethylene Glycol + water mixtures
    Journal of Nanoparticle Research, 2010
    Co-Authors: Michael P. Beck, Yanhui Yuan, Pramod Warrier, Amyn S. Teja
    Abstract:

    We present new data on the thermal conductivity of nanofluids consisting of alumina nanoparticles dispersed in water, Ethylene Glycol, and Ethylene Glycol + water mixtures. We also demonstrate that our previously published model is able to describe the temperature, particle size, and particle volume fraction dependence of these nanofluids without any adjustable parameters, irrespective of the base fluid used (water, Ethylene Glycol, or water + Ethylene Glycol mixtures). Furthermore, we demonstrate how the model may be used to check the consistency of literature data on all alumina nanofluids.

  • heat transfer performance and transport properties of zno Ethylene Glycol and zno Ethylene Glycol water nanofluid coolants
    Applied Energy, 2014
    Co-Authors: K S Suganthi, Leela V Vinodhan, K S Rajan
    Abstract:

    Experiments were carried out on preparation and characterization of ZnO–Ethylene Glycol (EG) and ZnO–Ethylene Glycol–water nanofluids and analysis of their performance as coolants. Favorable interactions between ZnO nanoparticles and Ethylene Glycol molecules ensured superior transport properties of ZnO–EG nanofluids. These interactions were utilized during formulation of ZnO–EG–water nanofluids with preservation of Ethylene Glycol molecules over ZnO nanoparticles’ surface rendering them with better transport properties. ZnO–EG nanofluids containing 4vol.% nanoparticles showed thermal conductivity enhancement of 33.4% and viscosity reduction of 39.2% at 27°C. Similarly, 2vol.% ZnO–EG–water nanofluids showed thermal conductivity enhancement of 17.26% and viscosity reduction of 17.34% at 27°C. Disturbance of hydrogen bonding network of Ethylene Glycol by ZnO nanoparticles resulted in reduced dispersion viscosity. Empirical models were developed to predict the thermal conductivity enhancement and viscosity reduction of the nanofluids apart from elucidating mechanisms for the same. Transient heat transfer experiments showed that ZnO–EG and ZnO–EG–water nanofluids had better heat absorption characteristics compared to their respective base fluids. The enhancements in heat transfer were proportional to thermal conductivity enhancements, which showed that superior thermal conductivity of nanofluids could be harnessed for cooling applications.
