Popis: The performance of water as a heat transfer medium in numerous applications is limited by its effective thermal conductivity. To improve the thermal conductivity of water, herein, we report the development and thermophysical characterization of novel metal-metal-oxide-carbon-based ternary-hybrid nanoparticles (THNp) GO-TiO2-Ag and rGO-TiO2-Ag. The results indicate that the graphene oxide- and reduced graphene oxide-based ternary-hybrid nanoparticles dispersed in water enhance the base fluid (H2O) thermal conductivity by 66% and 83%, respectively, even at very low concentrations. Mechanisms contributing to this significant enhancement are discussed. The experimental thermal conductivity is plotted against the existing empirical hybrid thermal conductivity correlations. We found that those correlations are not suitable for the metal-metal-oxide-carbon combinations, calling for new thermal conductivity models. Furthermore, the rheological measurements of the nanofluids display non-Newtonian behavior, and the viscosity reduces with the increase in temperature. Such behavior is possibly due to the non-uniform shapes of the ternary-hybrid nanoparticles.
