In this paper, researchers investigated the effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), on the thermal conductivity and phase change enthalpy of palmitic acid (PA), a solid to liquid phase change material. The research concluded that as the concentration of MWNTs is increased, the thermal conductivity ...
This experiment outlined an investigation into heat transfer of two water-based nanofluids; H2O-Al2O3 and H2O-Cu. The absorbency and thermal conductivity of both nanofluids was measured under various pH values and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) concentrations, to determine whether an effect on heat ...
The field of nanofluids is relatively new, however researchers in this article aimed to research their thermal conductivity and dispersion behaviours. A nanofluid consists of free-floating, solid nanoparticles suspended in a base fluid. Specifically, Al2O3-H2O nanofluids were investigated in this study. Using ...
