Abstract EN
An experimental investigation on water-based nanofluids containing iron oxide (Fe2O3) in concentrations ranging between 5 and 20% in mass is presented.
The purpose of this study is to measure thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of these fluids, as a starting point to study the heat transfer capability.
The stability of the nanofluids was verified by pH and Zeta potential measurements.
A dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique was used to obtain the mean nanoparticle diameters.
It was found that thermal conductivity of these nanofluids improved with temperature and particles concentration.
The temperature and nanoparticle concentration effects on viscosity were analyzed, obtaining a significant increase with respect to water.
All the fluids exhibited a Newtonian behaviour.
The experimental values were compared with some theoretical models for both thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity.
