Abstract

This study investigates the stability and rheological properties of water-ethylene glycol (W/EG) based non-Newtonian hybrid nanofluids incorporating SiC, Al2O3 and MWCNT nanoparticles. A two-step method was employed to prepare the hybrid nanofluids, using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for the characterization of the nanoparticles. Stability assessment showed that Al2O3-MWCNT hybrid nanofluids are more optically stable than SiC-MWCNT as W/EG based Al2O3-MWCNT hybrid nanofluids took longer to sediment. Al2O3-MWCNT hybrid nanofluids exhibited superior stability in visual tests over a period of 19–21 days while SiC-MWCNT nanofluid took 12-14 days to sediment. Rheological analysis showed that increasing particle concentration increased the viscosity by 3.56 and 3.98 times for SiC-MWCNT and Al2O3-MWCNT hybrid nanofluids, respectively, compared to the base fluid. In contrast, increasing the temperature from 25 °C to 55 °C decreased the shear stress by 72.8% and 64.8% for SiC-MWCNT and Al2O3-MWCNT hybrid nanofluids respectively. Furthermore, the viscosity versus shear rate trends indicated a pseudoplastic or shear-thinning nature for both hybrid nanofluids with particle volume fraction above or equal to 0.1%.

基于 W/EG 的非牛顿混合纳米流体在传热应用中的粘度和稳定性对比实验研究

本研究探讨了含有 SiC、Al2O3 和 MWCNT 纳米粒子的水-乙二醇（W/EG）基非牛顿混合纳米流体的稳定性和流变特性。采用两步法制备混合纳米流体，并使用 X 射线衍射 (XRD) 和扫描电子显微镜 (SEM) 对纳米粒子进行表征。稳定性评估表明，Al2O3-MWCNT 混合纳米流体比 SiC-MWCNT 具有更高的光学稳定性，因为基于 W/EG 的 Al2O3-MWCNT 混合纳米流体需要更长的时间才能沉淀。在 19-21 天的目视测试中，Al2O3-MWCNT 混合纳米流体表现出更高的稳定性，而 SiC-MWCNT 纳米流体需要 12-14 天才能沉淀。流变分析表明，与基础流体相比，增加颗粒浓度可使 SiC-MWCNT 和 Al2O3-MWCNT 混合纳米流体的粘度分别增加 3.56 倍和 3.98 倍。相比之下，将温度从 25 °C 提高到 55 °C 会使 SiC-MWCNT 和 Al2O3-MWCNT 混合纳米流体的剪切应力分别降低 72.8% 和 64.8%。此外，粘度与剪切速率的变化趋势表明，颗粒体积分数大于或等于 0.1% 时，两种混合纳米流体都具有假塑性或剪切稀化性质。
