Nanofluid research is focused on two specific areas of testing: synthesizing new nanofluids with enhanced thermal properties, and finding new applications for nanofluids. Nanofluids are conventional heat transfer fluids with suspensions of thermally conductive nanoparticles. In this study, TiO2 (titanium dioxide) nanoparticles are used to enhance the base fluid propylene glycol (PG). The Thermal Constants Analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the TiO2/PG nanofluid using the transient plane source (...
With the increasing popularity of nanofluids (NFs), understanding their thermal properties is critical. In this paper, a thermal constant analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of copper/palladium bimetallic nanostructure-based nanofluids using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the addition of the nanoparticles enhanced the thermal conductivity of the nanofluids by approximately 19%....
