摘要
In this study, we report the anomalous enhancement of specific heat capacity of high-temperature nano-fluids. Alkali metal chloride salt eutectics were doped with silica nanoparticles at 1% mass concentration. The specific heat capacity of the nanofluid was enhanced by 14.5%. Dispersion behavior of the nanoparticles in the eutectic was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Three independent competing transport mechanisms are enumerated to explain this anomalous behavior. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
