Heat Transfer Nanofluids Based on Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

In this paper, we report the effort to prepare a stable su spension of carbon nanotube s in a hydro philic thermal transfer fluid with the motivation of enhancing its properties such as thermal conductivity and freezing point . The process of creating these fluid s involves the dispersion of carbon nanoparticles into the thermal transport fluid through intermittent sonication and the use of additives such as surfactants. I.
