Popis: In the field of heat transfer, the use of the properties of rheological behavior inherent to suspensions of nanoparticles in heat transfer fluids has been the subject of several years of work. Our study concerns the particular case of suspensions of multilayered carbon nanotubes (MNTCs) in glycerol. We highlight the effect of the mass fraction φ of (MNTCs) on the rheology of the solutions for 0.1% ≤ φ ≤1%, on the temperature [30-80°C] and the effect on a heat exchanger. The experimental results obtained are described by viscoplastic models for which the yield stress increases with φ. We then propose a law of polynomial evolution of the apparent viscosity as a function of the volume fraction for each value of the shear rate varying from 0s-1 to 100s-1.
