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

Drop coalescence is central to diverse processes involving dispersions of drops in industrial, engineering, and scientific realms. During coalescence, two drops first touch and then merge as the liquid neck connecting them grows from initially microscopic scales to a size comparable to the drop diameters. The curvature of the interface is infinite at the point where the drops first make contact, and the flows that ensue as the two drops coalesce are intimately coupled to this singularity in the dynamics. Conventionally, this process has been thought to have just two dynamical regimes: a viscous and an inertial regime with a …
