Abstract

Nanofluids are fluids with nanoparticles dispersed in them. Due to the presence of Nano particles, these fluids exhibit unique properties that can used in various applications such as heat exchangers and in medical fields. However, due to agglomeration, the size of these particle increases, reducing their efficiency. In order to break the agglomeration, we are passing shockwaves in the fluid. Shockwaves theoretically carry energy which can be used to break the agglomerating particles. In this paper, silver nanoparticles were synthesized using silver nitrate. Tri sodium citrate was used as the reducing agent. Shock waves were passed to the fluid containing silver Nano particles. The changes in the Nano fluid was measured by a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. With each shock passed, the fluid's absorbance and wavelength peak was measured and compared with Nano fluid without shock.
