Experimental study of effective thermal conductivity of ZnO/EG nanofluid is presented in thisresearch. The nanofluid was prepared by dispersing Zno nanoparticles in ethylene glycol using asonicator and adding surfactant. Ethylene glycol based nanofluid containing ZnO nanoparticlewith a nominal diameter of 18 nm at different solid volume fractions (very low to high) atvarious temperatures was ex...

A combined experimental and theoretical investigation was conducted to examine the thermal conductivity of layers of wire mesh screen. Employing a carefully controlled sintering process, layers of sintered wire screen were examined experimentally. The experimental results indicate that the effective thermal conductivity in the z-direction (i.e., normal to the plane of the wire screen layers) fo...

objective(s): this study aims to evaluate and predict the thermal conductivity of iron oxide nanofluid at different temperatures and volume fractions by artificial neural network (ann) and correlation using experimental data. methods: two-layer perceptron feedforward artificial neural network and backpropagation levenberg-marquardt (bp-lm) training algorithm are used to predict the thermal cond...

We present an optimization method to design three-dimensional composite microstructures with multifunctional characteristics. To illustrate the fascinating types of microstructures that can arise in multifunctional optimization, we apply our methodology to the study the simultaneous transport of heat and electricity in three-dimensional, two-phase composites. We assume that phase 1 has a high t...

information on the thermophysical properties of the iranian ultrafiltrated (uf) white cheese is very limited. in this research, those thermal properties determined experimentally were thermal conductivity, specific heat, density and water activity. the thermal conductivity and specific heat of iranian ultrafiltrated white cheese (iufwc) ranged from 0.447 to 0.480 w m-1 °c-1 and from 3.871 to 4....

Authors reported an effective path to increase the electrical conductivity while to decrease the thermal conductivity, and thus to enhance the ZT value by nano-inclusions. By this method, the ZT value of Nb-doped SrTiO3 was enhanced 9-fold by yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) nano-inclusions. YSZ inclusions, located inside grain and in triple junction, can reduce the thermal conductivity by effe...

Liquid paraffin as a coolant fluid can be  applied in electronic devices as a result to its suitable capabilities such as electrical insulating, high heat capacity, chemical and thermal stability, and high boiling point. However, the poor thermal conductivity of paraffin has been confined its thermal cooling application. Addition of high conductor nanoparticles to paraffin can fix this drawback...
