Thermal conductivity minimum: a new water anomaly.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the thermal conductivity of liquid water using computer simulations of the TIP5P model of water. Our simulations show that, in addition to the maximum at high temperatures at constant pressure that it exhibits in experiments, the thermal conductivity also displays a minimum at low temperatures. We find that the temperature of minimum thermal conductivity in supercooled liquid water coincides with the temperature of maximum specific heat. We discuss our results in the context of structural changes in liquid water at low temperatures.

Thermal conductivity of supercooled water.
The heat capacity of supercooled water, measured down to -37°C, shows an anomalous increase as temperature decreases. The thermal diffusivity, i.e., the ratio of the thermal conductivity and the heat capacity per unit volume, shows a decrease. These anomalies may be associated with a hypothesized liquid-liquid critical point in supercooled water below the line of homogeneous nucleation. However...
متن کاملThermal Conductivity of Cu and Al-Water Nanofluids
Nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles in the base fluids, a new challenge for thermal sciences provided by nanotechnology. In this paper, the tested fluids are prepared by dispersing the Al and Cu into water at three different concentrations such as 500, 1000 and 2000 ppm. Thermal conductivities of these fluids are measured experimentally by thermal property analyzer i.e. KD2 Pro by using...

متن کاملThe Analysis of Experimental Process of Production, Stabilizing and Measurement of the Thermal Conductivity Coefficient of Water/Graphene Oxide as a Cooling Nanofluid in Machining
The abrasion is a significant issue, especially in machining of rigid steels. A functional and suitable approach for enhancing the heat transfer from machining area is using an intermediate fluid with higher heat transfer potential instead of common fluids. The objective of this experimental study is to discuss production, stability and thermal conductivity examination of water/graphene oxide n...
