Measuring thermal conductivity, viscosity depending on temperature silicon carbide-Therminol 55 nanofluids

Abstract

This work is experimentally testing a combination of thermal conductivity and viscosity characteristics to achieve optimal heat transfer utilizing Silicon Carbide (SiC) Therminol 55 as Nanofluid. Recent experiments have shown that Nano-fluids have outstanding properties that render them efficient in many thermal transmission applications in comparison to basic fluids. SiC-Therminol 55 Nano-fluid is synthesized at varying amounts (0.1 per cent to 0.3 per cent) by the production of SiC Nano-Particles of length (80 nm) in therminol 55. Temperature and viscosity were calculated using kd2 Analyzer and Fenske Viscometer at a temperature range. The experimental effect, demonstrated by the highest thermal conductivity, raises volume concentration and decre ases viscosity. At the end of the process, theoretical models are developed for the analysis of the propensity of the Nanofluid to well-established H-C models.
