Özet

Nanofluids are supensions of nanoparticles in pure (base) fluids. This work deals with the characterization of water-based alumina nanofluids through the measurement of thermal conductivity and rheological behavior. The thermal conductivity is measured with the line heat source method, while the rheological behavior is measured with a viscosimeter. The results obtained in this work are compared to those of the respective base fluid (water) as well as to the values predicted with theoretical models available in the literature. ©2009 Old City Publishing, Inc.
