Nanofluids are heat transfer fluids with enhanced thermal conductivity properties due to the addition of metallic-based nanoparticles. In this study, the thermal properties of Al¬2O3 and TiO2 nanofluids were examined to evaluate their usefulness in microchannel heat sink applications. A thermal constants analyzer measured ...
Nanofluids are used in heat sink applications to improve the rate of heat dissipation and reduce temperature gradients in electronics. This study specifically examined the thermal properties of Al2O3-H2O nanofluids used in micro heat sinks. An instrument measured the thermal conductivity of ...
Enhancing heat transfer in miniaturized radiators is an important goal for many researchers. In this study, silver nanofluids were employed to improve the transfer of heat in micro-pin fin heat sinks. A thermal constant analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the silver nanofluid samples using ...
Using Al2O3 nanoparticles, de-ionized water, and different volume fractions of two surfactants, Al2O3/water nanofluids were prepared by a two-step method. Thermal conductivities of the nanofluids were measured by the thermal constants analyzer. The choice of surfactant used (either sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) ...
