New representative equations are put forth for the thermal conductance of ethanol (C2H6O) which are based on a body of experimental data that has been critically assessed for agreement with theory where possible. The data ...
Borehole heat exchangers are used in conjunction with ground source heat pumps in Nordic countries. Aqueous ethanol solutions are commonly used with other secondary fluids such as water in borehole heat exchangers to decrease the freezing point of the liquid. However, ethanol based mediums contain ...
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 ...
