Experimental Setup for Investigation on Microwaves Interaction with Nanofluids

Abstract

Nanofluids belong to a new generation of heat transfer fluid. Their thermal properties make them suitable to be employed in high performance energy systems. In this paper a new setup for investigating the interactions between microwaves and nanofluids is presented. This is a new issue in this field and only one other experimental campaign has been carried out in the scientific world so far. The design of this experimental setup together with the preliminary results open a new frontier in the field of heat transfer in nanofluids.
