Enhanced Thermal Conductivity of Nanofluid by Synergistic Effect of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Nanoparticles

Abstract: This study investigates the synergistic effect of combining multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and Fe2O3nanoparticles on thermal conductivity of nanofluid. Results show that low percentage hybrid fillers loading improve thermal conductivity of water based nanofluid, due to the good dispersion and interfacial adhesion, which is confirmed by scanning electron microscope. Furthermore, the hybrid fillers provide synergistic effect on heat conductive networks. The thermal conductivity enhancement of water based … Show more

“…c o m / l o c a t e / i c h m t thermal conductivity enhancement was achieved by a fluid containing '0.05 wt.% MWCNTs-3 wt.% Ag' composite. Chen et al [22] examined the effect of combining MWCNTs and Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles on thermal conductivity of water based nanofluids. Their results revealed that the thermal conductivity enhancement of the nanofluid containing 0.05 wt.% MWCNTs and 0.02 wt.% Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles was 27.75%.…”

“…Chen et al, [33] utilized this method in the preparation of Fe2O3 /MWCNTs nanofluid with sodium dodecyl-benzesulfonate (NaDDBS) as surfactant. Baby and Ramaprubhu [34] used two step method to prepare a hybrid nanofluid of copper oxide/graphene (CuO/HEG) with ethylene glycol and DI water as the base fluid.…”

“…Iron oxide/multi-walled carbon nanotube (Fe2O3/MWCNTs) nanofluid was synthesized by Chen et al, [33] and the thermal conductivity of the hybrid nanofluid was evaluated by varying the volume concentration of the iron oxide in the hybrid nanofluid. 27.7% enhancement in thermal conductivity was obtained with 0.02 wt % Fe2O3 and 0.05% MWCNTs, the enhancement was due to Iron oxide (Fe2O3) aggregate locally on MWCNTs surface their by forming chains along the carbon nanotubes.…”

“…Apart from the van der Waals, depletion, and steric stability forces, the Brownian force [213,214], buoyancy force [215], hydration force [216], and interphase resistance [217] may also contribute to the dispersion stability of nanofluids under specific conditions.…”
