Thermal Conductivity and Stability of Hydrocarbon-Based Nanofluids with Palladium Nanoparticles Dispersed by Modified Hyperbranched Polyglycerol.

ABSTRACT: Palladium nanoparticles, which were prepared by modified hyperbranched polyglycerol (mHPG) as stabilizers, can be dispersed well in nonpolar organic solvents and form highly stable nanofluids. The influences of three mHPG products modified with cyclohexanethiol (CSHPG), dodecanethiol (DSHPG), and octadecanethiol (OSHPG) on the preparation and stability of the palladium nanoparticles were investigated. The stability and thermal conductivity enhancement of the hydrocarbon-based nanofluids with Pd@mHPG (Pd@CSHPG, Pd@DSHPG, and Pd@OSHPG) compared to the corresponding base fluid were investigated at different temperatures. The average diameters of nanoparticles stabilized by CSHPG, DSHPG, and OSHPG are within 2.7-3.6 nm. The palladium nanoparticles could be dispersed well in the nonpolar base fluid such as decalin. The nanofluids with Pd@DSHPG and Pd@OSHPG could remain stable for up to 330 days at room temperature. The nanofluid with Pd@DSHPG or Pd@OSHPG could be stable for more than 24 h at 110 °C. The thermal conductivity of the nanofluids improved with increasing temperature and the mass fraction of nanoparticles compared to the corresponding base fluid. The long alkyl chain-modified HPG can give better protection for nanoparticles from agglomeration and assist metal nanoparticles in enhancing the thermal conductivity of nanofluids.

Project description:Developing stable nanofluids and improving their thermo-physical properties are highly important in heat transfer applications. In the present work, the stability, thermal conductivity, and rheological properties of tungsten disulphide (WS2) nanoparticles (NPs) with ethylene glycol (EG) were profoundly examined using a particle size analyzer, zeta-sizer, thermal property analyzer, rheometer, and pH measuring system. WS2 NPs were characterized by various techniques, such as XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), FESEM (Field emission scanning electron microscopy), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The nanofluids were obtained with the two-step method by employing three volume concentrations (0.005%, 0.01%, and 0.02%) of WS2. The influence of different surfactants (Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS), Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)) with various volume concentrations (0.05-2%) on the measured properties has also been evaluated. Pristine WS2/EG nanofluids exhibit low zeta potential values, i.e., -7.9 mV, -9.3 mV, and -5 mV, corresponding to 0.005%, 0.01%, and 0.02% nanofluid, respectively. However, the zeta potential surpassed the threshold (±30 mV) and the maximum values reached of -52 mV, -45 mV, and 42 mV for SDS, SDBS, and CTAB-containing nanofluids. This showed the successful adsorption of surfactants onto WS2, which was also observed through the increased agglomerate size of up to 1720 nm. Concurrently, particularly for 0.05% SDS with 0.005% WS2, thermal conductivity was enhanced by up to 4.5%, with a corresponding decrease in viscosity of up to 10.5% in a temperature range of (25-70 °C), as compared to EG. Conversely, the viscoelastic analysis has indicated considerable yield stress due to the presence of surfactants, while the pristine nanofluids exhibited enhanced fluidity over the entire tested deformation range. The shear flow behavior showed a transition from a non-Newtonian to a Newtonian fluid at a low shear rate of 10 s-1. Besides this, the temperature sweep analysis has shown a viscosity reduction in a range of temperatures (25-70 °C), with an indication of a critical temperature limit. However, owing to an anomalous reduction in the dynamic viscosity of up to 10.5% and an enhancement in the thermal conductivity of up to 6.9%, WS2/EG nanofluids could be considered as a potential candidate for heat transfer applications.
