#### Porous materials as open volumetric solar receivers: Experimental determination of thermophysical and heat transfer properties

Previously, the thermal conductivity of extruded monoliths, ceramic foams and metal structures were determined for their application as open volumetric receivers in concentrated solar radiation. Volumetric receivers contain a porous material, which is ultimately heated through solar radiation. The pores allow ambient air flow through ...

#### Investigation of pH and SDBS on enhancement of thermal conductivity in nanofluids

This study aimed to improve the heat transfer capabilities of water-based nanofluids, by varying the concentration of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), a chemical surfactant, as well as by altering the pH. It is said that the thermal conductivity and stability of nanofluids are directly related ...

#### Thermal Conductivity Enhancement Dependent pH and Chemical Surfactant for Cu-H2O Nanofluids

Thermal conductivity of heating and cooling fluids with added nanoparticles dubbed 'nanofluids' are used as potential to improve the efficiency of heat transfer fluids using a thermal constants analyser. The Thermal conductivity enhancements of Cu-H2O nanofluids are dependent on the weight fraction of nanoparticles, ...
