Thermo Physical Properties

In recent years, research has focused on enhancing the thermo-physical properties of a single component nanofluid. Therefore, hybrid or composite nanofluids have been developed to improve heat transfer performance. The thermo-physical properties of the Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 nanoparticles suspended in a base of water (W) and ethylene glycol (EG) at constant volume ratio of 60:40 and different volume concentrations were investigated. The experiment was conducted for the volume concentrations of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% of Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 nanofluids at different temperatures of 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 °C. Thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity measurements were carried out at temperatures ranging from 30 to 70 °C by using KD2 Pro Thermal Properties Analyzer and Brookfield LVDV III Ultra Rheometer, respectively. The highest thermal conductivity for tri-hybrid nanofluids was obtained at 0.3% volume concentration, and the maximum enhancement was increased up to 9% higher than the base fluid (EG/W). Tri-hybrid nanofluids with a volume concentration of 0.05% gave the lowest effective thermal conductivity of 4.8 % at 70 °C temperature. Meanwhile, the dynamic viscosity of the tri-hybrid nanofluids was influenced by volume concentration and temperature. Furthermore, tri-hybrid nanofluids behaved as a Newtonian fluid for volume concentrations from 0.05 to 3.0%. The properties enhancement ratio (PER) estimated that the tri-hybrid nanofluids will aid in heat transfer for all samples in the present. The new correlations for thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of tri-hybrid nanofluids were developed with minimum deviation. As a conclusion, the combination of the enhancement in thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity for tri-hybrid at 0.3% volume concentration was found the optimum condition with more advantage for heat transfer than other concentrations.

Stability of nanofluids is one of the most important factors to ensure the most benefit of the properties of nanoparticles. Zinc oxide was used in the research with concentration between (0.2-1) wt. % with ethylene glycol base fluid. The stability of ZnO nanofluid was enhanced by adding two types of surfactants Tx-100 and Gum Arabic with concentration of (0.1-0.5) vol. % to stabilize the ZnO nanoparticles in the base fluid. The results showed that the Gum Arabic surfactant led to more stable fluid than that of Tx-100; this was shown from zeta potential and UV spectroscopy measurements. The thermal conductivity coefficient was also measured, and the results showed that the thermal conductivity increased with adding surfactant than without using a stabilizer.
