Discovery
of Nanofluids leads to the revolution in Thermal conductivity process.
Nanofluids are of small size basically 1 to 100 nm in size. This unique
property of Nanofluids make it is a great property for Thermal Enhancement.
Nanoparticles used in Nanofluids are made up of metals, oxides, carbides etc.
Nanofluids are mixed with base fluid like lubricating oil, different Refrigerants,
chemicals and water. In this present work
Alumina (Alpha) Nanofluids mixed with lubricating oil (160-HZ) at
different Temperature range (30 to 70oC) with varying different
volume concentration (0.1 to 5%) with 20 nm nanoparticles size to study the
Thermal conductivity behavior. In short Alumina (Alpha) Nanofluids with base
fluid lubricating oil (160-HZ) is prepared and then their Thermal conductivity
is compared with base fluid i.e. Lubricating oil (160-HZ). Result shows that
Alumina (Alpha) Nanofluids with base fluid lubricating oil (160-HZ) Shows
superior Thermal conductivity as compared to Thermal conductivity of base fluid
(160-HZ).
