One way to increase the thermal conductivity of a conventional fluid is to add solid particles to the liquid. Aluminum nitride (AlN) is an effective thermal conductor so it is popularly used to fabricate nanofluids. In this study, 20 nanometer particles of AlN were distributed into ethanol and the thermal conductivity of the solution was measured using a thermal constant analyzer from 0.5 volume fraction (vol%) to 4.0 vol% at 273.15 kelvin (K) and 297.15 ...
