Pool boiling heat transfer of CNT/water nanofluids

A comprehensive review on pool boiling of nanofluids

“…Authors also found that when inclination angle increased, the CHF increased for all used fluids. In another study, Amiri et al [57] examined the effects of CNT/water nanofluid on the boiling HTC and CHF. The results indicated that the covalent nanofluids increased the pool boiling HTC significantly, in contrast to the non-covalent nanofluids.…”

Dispersion stability of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in refrigerant with addition of surfactant

“…However, MWCNTs in refrigerant are likely to form clusters and then settle down due to their high aspect ratio, large surface area and strong Van der Waals attraction force [16,17]. The dispersion stability of MWCNTs in water-surfactant mixture [10,11,16,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] and aqueous solution-surfactant mixture [18] Table 1, and the transmission electron microscope (TEM) photographs are shown in Fig. 1.…”

Heat transfer performance of two-phase closed thermosyphon with oxidized CNT/water nanofluids

“…Various fluids have been used to transfer energy that is absorbed by the evaporator [7,8]. Recently, because of nanofluids' unique properties with regard to high performance heat transfer, they have begun to attract the interest of many scientists [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Choi and Eastman [23] were the first to synthesize a new nanofluid that had higher thermal conductivity than the base fluid.…”
