摘要
The main aim of this work is to investigate the influence of different parameters on the stability of spherical CuO nanoparticles dispersed in water, ethylene glycol and 50:50 water/ethylene glycol binary mixture as different base fluids for heat transfer applications. Nano-fluids were prepared using two-step method at weight concentration of 0.1-0.4 %. Time-settlement experiments were established to examine the stability of nano-fluids. Quality tests were also performed to investigate the morphology, purity and size of nanoparticles. In order to stabilize the nano-fluids, stirring, pH control and sonication were utilized. The criteria for assessing the stability of nano-fluids were zeta potential and time-settlement experiments. Results demonstrated that the ethylene glycol can be the best medium for dispersing the CuO nanoparticle in comparison with water and water/EG binary mixture. The best condition for achieving the most stable nano-fluid was also introduced. Role of sonication time, stirring time and addition of surfactant on the stability of nano-fluids were investigated and briefly discussed.
