Thermophysical properties of water-based carbon nanotubes nanofluid as cold storage media.

Number: pap. n. 395

Author(s) : XING M., WANG R.

Summary

In this paper, the thermophysical properties of water-based single-walled carbon nanotube nanofluids (SWCNTs-nanofluids) as cold storage media were experimentally studied. The detailed measurements on the thermal conductivity, viscosity and density of SWCNTs-nanofluids with SWCNTs concentration ranging from 0.1 to 1wt% were carried out in a temperature range of 10-60°C. Thermal conductivity enhancement for SWCNTs-nanofluid is observed under the experimental conditions, which increases with an increase in the concentration and temperature. In addition, the viscosity of SWCNTs-nanofluid increases as increasing SWCNTs concentration but decreases with increasing temperature. The maximum thermal conductivity enhancement of SWCNTs-nanofluid is found to be 16.2% for the concentration of 1wt% at 60°C. Correspondingly, the viscosity will be increased by the maximum value of 35.9%. SWCNTs-Nanofluids with the higher thermal conductivity show great potential in the cold storage application.
