Enhanced thermal conductivity of ethylene glycol-based suspensions in the presence of silver nanoparticles of various sizes and shapes

Silver (Ag) has the highest thermal conductivity of all metals, making it an attractive nanoparticle for use in heat transfer systems. The shape of nanoparticles influences their thermal conductivity, so three varieties of Ag nanoparticles were tested in this study. The Thermal Constants Analyser measured the thermal conductivity of Ag nanospheres (NSs), nanowires (NWs), and nanoflakes (NFs) between 10-30 °C using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that ...
