Popis: Stable nanofluids based on DG-100 grade carbon black and carbon nanotubes have been prepared, and their influence on the maximum heat-transfer capacity and thermal resistance of closed-loop two-phase thermosyphons (TPTs) intended for electronics cooling have been studied. A more than twofold increase in the critical heat flux of these TPTs as compared to those filled with water has been obtained along with a sharp decrease in their thermal resistance. It is suggested that this effect is not only due to the high thermal conductivity of the proposed nanofluids, but is also related to the formation of a specific porous structure hindering the appearance of a vapor film and enhancing the boiling process.
