Ultrasonication an intensifying tool for preparation of stable nanofluids and study the time influence on distinct properties of graphene nanofluids - A systematic overview.

ABSTRACT: Optimum ultrasonication time will lead to the better performance for heat transfer in addition to preparation methods and thermal properties of the nanofluids. Nano particles are dispersed in base fluids like water (water-based fluids), glycols (glycol base fluids) &oils at different mass or volume fraction by using different preparation techniques. Significant preparation technique can enhance the stability, effects various parameters & thermo-physical properties of fluids. Agglomeration of the dispersed nano particles will lead to declined thermal performance, thermal conductivity, and viscosity. For better dispersion and breaking down the clusters, Ultrasonication method is the highly influential approach. Sonication hour is unique for different nano fluids depending on their response to several considerations. In this review, systematic investigations showing effect on various physical and thermal properties based on ultrasonication/ sonication time are illustrated. In this analysis it is found that increased power or time of ideal sonication increases the dispersion, leading to higher stable fluids, decreased particle size, higher thermal conductivity, and lower viscosity values. Employing the ultrasonic probe is substantially more effective than ultrasonic bath devices. Low ultrasonication power and time provides best outcome. Various sonication time periods by various research are summarized with respect to the different thermophysical properties. This is first review explaining sonication period influence on thermophysical properties of graphene nanofluids.

Project description:To meet the increasing global demand for energy, better recovery of crude oil from reservoirs must be achieved using methods that are economical and environmentally benign. Here, we have developed a nanofluid of amphiphilic clay-based Janus nanosheets via a facile and scalable method that provides potential to enhance oil recovery. With the aid of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) intercalation and ultrasonication, kaolinite was exfoliated into nanosheets (KaolNS) before being grafted with 3-methacryloxypropyl-triemethoxysilane (KH570) on the Alumina Octahedral Sheet at 40 and 70 °C to form amphiphilic Janus nanosheets (i.e., KaolKH@40 and KaolKH@70). The amphiphilicity and Janus nature of the KaolKH nanosheets have been well demonstrated, with distinct wettability obtained on two sides of the nanosheets, and the KaolKH@70 was more amphiphilic than the KaolKH@40. Upon preparing Pickering emulsion in a hydrophilic glass tube, the KaolKH@40 preferentially stabilized emulsions, while the KaolNS and KaolKH@70 tended to form an observable and high-strength elastic planar interfacial film at the oil-water interface as well as films climbing along the tube's surface, which were supposed to be the result of emulsion instability and the strong adherence of Janus nanosheets towards tube's surface. Subsequently, the KaolKH was grafted with poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm), and the prepared thermo-responsive Janus nanosheets demonstrated a reversible transformation between stable emulsion and the observable interfacial films. Finally, when the samples were subjected to core flooding tests, the nanofluid containing 0.01 wt% KaolKH@40 that formed stable emulsions showed an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) rate of 22.37%, outperforming the other nanofluids that formed observable films (an EOR rate ~13%), showcasing the superiority of Pickering emulsions from interfacial films. This work demonstrates that KH-570-modified amphiphilic clay-based Janus nanosheets have the potential to be used to improve oil recovery, especially when it is able to form stable Pickering emulsions.
