Experimental investigation on thermal conductivity and viscosity of aluminum nitride nanofluid

Rheological properties and thermal conductivity of AlN–poly(propylene glycol) suspensions

“…It has been previously studied and discussed that thermal conductivity of PPG 2000 liquid is moderate and slightly increases with temperature [8,14] (Fig. 9).…”

Shear History Effect on the Viscosity of Carbon Nanotubes Water-based Nanofluid

“…So, at sufficient rate and duration of mechanical mixing, it is expected that the agglomerates are broken and the nanoparticles are well dispersed. However, it should be mentioned that mechanical methods are able to reduce the size of aggregates but not sufficient to obtain a complete dispersion of the nanoparticles into primary particles [10,13]. In addition to this, it was reported that after passing the optimized duration of mechanical dispersing, the nanofluid can agglomerate in a clog during a fast sedimentation [29].…”

Tribological Investigation of Graphene as Lubricant Additive in Vegetable Oil

“…19 Meanwhile, Yu et al prepared AIN-ethylene glycol and AIN-propylene glycol nanofluids by using stirring and AC for 3 h. Their results showed that average particle sizes of their nanofluids was 165-169 nm. 20 Meanwhile, hydrodynamic cavitation which exhibited similar effect as acoustic cavitation 21 was commonly used to intensify various physical/chemical process operations. 22 Both cavitations underwent three steps, which are bubble generation, bubble collapse and energy release.…”
