| Popis: | Diathermic oil has high boiling point, low vapor pressure and low pour point, so it has been widely used as a heat carrier in heat transfer systems. Due to the excellent thermo-physical property of nanofluids, a kind of hybrid nanoparticles (SiC/TiO 2 ) was dispersed in diathermic oil to fabricate nanofluids with concentration up to 1 vol% in this paper. And there was no visually observable sedimentation or stratification even after ten days. As two characteristics of thermo-physical property, the thermal conductivity and viscosity were measured under the same conditions respectively, and the experimental results showed that the thermal conductivity of nanofluids increased with increasing volume fractions of nanoparticles and increasing of temperature. With the loading further increasing, the thermal conductivity of SiC/TiO 2 nanofluids is higher than SiC or TiO 2 nanofluids’, and the maximum of thermal conductivity enhancement ratio is 8.39% at 1 vol%. Thermal conductivity enhancement ratio was a linear relationship with the volume fraction. Suspending SiC/TiO 2 nanoparticles can enhance thermal capacity of the system. In rheological experiment, the shear viscosity almost maintained constant with shear rate increasing at the given temperature, which means that the samples are Newtonian fluid. And the higher the nanofluids concentration was, the larger value of their shear viscosity. There were some anomalous phenomena occurred in rheological behavior, which may be caused by the breaking up of hybrid of two types of nanoparticles. |
