PHOTOTHERMAL TECHNIQUE FOR MEASURING THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY AND DIFFUSIVITY OF NANOFLUIDS A NEW APPROACH
Journal Title: Periódico Tchê Química - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 27
Abstract
Nanofluids have become nowadays of special importance because of their different uses in industry, therefore, to propose methods to calculate their thermal properties would be useful. In this work, a new variant for the calculation of thermal conductivity and diffusivity of nanofluids is proposed; the possibilities and limitations of this non-stationary method, which uses light radiation as the heat source, are studied. Here, the light is homogenously incident on one of the end surfaces of a cylinder that has a thermally insulated side surface, setting the temperature at the other end to a constant value, then the temperature distribution is obtained as a function of the coordinate and time; adjusting the theoretical model, parabolic heat diffusion equation, to the experimental data obtained. The conditions of validity of the method to measure thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of fluids are analyzed; as well as, the way in which it could be used to verify the validity of the Hamilton and Crosser (HC) model in the case of nanofluids. Currently, nanofluids are used to exchange heat, as they have been found to exceed the potential of conventional refrigerants; however, the calculation of thermal properties still does not offer definitive values.
