Abstract:In this work, the thermal conductivity of Al 2 O 3 nanofluids has been investigated for the sensitivity towards neutron irradiation. The solution combustion method has been used for the synthesis of Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles that have been used for the preparation of the nanofluids. Prepared nanofluids have been neutron-irradiated for 7 and 14 days. Dynamic Light Scattering, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy have been used to ascertain the change in properties before and after neu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
