摘要: Abstract Surfactant free and fairly stable ZnO-ethylene glycol (EG) nanofluids are prepared using prolonged sonication (>60 h). Extended period of results in superior fragmentation dispersion ZnO nanoparticles, as is evident from the DLS data. Thermal conductivity nanofluid displays a maximum enhancement 40% for 3.75% volume fractions loading EG at 30 °C. The nucleate pool boiling heat transfer characteristics ZnO-EG with various nanoparticles measured atmospheric pressure employing cylindrical polished copper heater surface. coefficient enhances concentration attains 22% compared to that base fluid fraction 1.6%. However, further decreases coefficient. Critical flux measurements performed thin Constantan wire. CHF value appreciably increases increasing ∼117% containing 2.6% ZnO.
