Viscosity Measurements On Colloidal Dispersions (Nanofluids) For Heat Transfer Applications, Jessica Townsend, Rebecca J. Christianson, D Venerus, J Buongiorno, M A. Kedzierski, Et Al. Apr 2012

Viscosity Measurements On Colloidal Dispersions (Nanofluids) For Heat Transfer Applications, Jessica Townsend, Rebecca J. Christianson, D Venerus, J Buongiorno, M A. Kedzierski, Et Al.

Rebecca J. Christianson

This article reports viscosity data on a series of colloidal dispersions collected as part of the International Nanofluid Property Benchmark Exercise (INPBE). Data are reported for seven different fluids that include dispersions of metal-oxide nanoparticles in water, and in synthetic oil. These fluids, which are also referred to as nanofluids, are currently being researched for their potential to function as heat transfer fluids. In a recently published paper from the INPBE study, thermal conductivity data from more than 30 laboratories around the world were reported and analyzed. Here, we examine the influence of particle shape and concentration on the viscosity …
