Experimental Investigation of Electrical Conductivity and Ph of Mango Bark (Mangifera Indica) Based Nanofluid
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Over two decades now the preparation and study of the propertiesof nanofluids based on metallic and non-metallic oxides have received considerable attention. This researchinvestigated the use of biomaterial (mango bark) for the preparation of nanofluid with the aim of experimentally determining the effect ofnanoparticle volume fraction and temperature variation on pH and electrical conductivity of mango bark (mangiferaindica)based nanofluid.The volume fractions used were 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0% and 4.0% withdeionized water as the basefluid.The results show that the electrical conductivity increased as concentration and temperature increase and the percentage enhancement for electrical conductivity is 112.07% for 4.0% volume fraction. The pH of the nanofluid also increased as concentration increased and decreased as temperature increased.
