Influence of Nanoparticle Concentration on Thermal Properties of Thermal Oil-MWCNT Nanofluid

Abstract:

The suspensions consisted of fluid phase and solid particles have been used for over 100 years. However, these tests concerned only the particles of dimension scale of mili-or micrometer, and application of such mixtures has caused serious problems that were a consequence of sedimentation of solid particles, wall erosion, clogging of the conduits or creating of sediments. The nanotechnology development has caused a vast availability of particles with dimensions less than 100 nm. Suspensions consisting of base fluid and particles (beads, filaments, plates) with dimensions less than 100 nm were given a name of nanofluids [1].
