Characterizaton and Volumetric Studies of Magnetite (Fe₃O₄) Nanofluids at Different Temperatures

Abstract:

Magnetite nanofluid has been prepared in citric acid based medium. Their stability and polydispersity level have been characterized by UV-visible spectrophotometry.The volumetric properties such as apparent molar volume, partial molar volume and isentropic compressibility of nanofluid have been measured at temperature range from 298.15K to 313.15K at atmospheric pressure. The obtained results were interpreted in terms of particle-particle and particle-fluid interactions, and compared with commercially available magnetite nanofluid in terms of particle size difference. It was observed that the influence of particle size on measured volumetric parameters is significant for any practical applications of fluid flow. The differences in measured quantities were determined qualitatively by considering the state of aggregation / particle size distribution of the nanofluids.
