Abstract:Boron nitride/ethylene alcohol (BN/EG) nanofluids was synthesized by two-step method. The influence of dispersant on stability, thermal conductivity and viscosity was studied. The experimental results reveal that the stability of BN/EG nanofluids deteriorates rapidly with the addition of anionic dispersants and cationic dispersants, which has no practical application value. While, non-ionic dispersant can improve the stability and fluidity obviously and maintain the enhancement of thermal conductivity at the s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
