Abstract

In this work, ZnO nanoparticle was surface modified with the PFPE-acid as ligand. The modified ZnO particle size was about 30 nm measured by SEM. The modified ZnO/HFE-7100 nano-coolants with mass fractions of 0.10 % - 0.40 % were prepared and characterized, and their dispersion stabilities were evaluated by visual sedimentation and UV spectrophotometer. Then the thermal conductivities of these nano-coolants were measured using a visualized transient hot-wire system. Results show that the thermal conductivity of the modified ZnO/HFE-7100 nano-coolants increased with the increasing mass fraction of nanoparticles and temperature, and 4.94 %-16.24 % enhancement were found compared to the base fluid. Based on the experimental data, a thermal conductivity model of nano-coolant was developed, and the deviation of the calculated thermal conductivity from the experimental value was less than ± 1.10 %.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Refrigeration is published for the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) by Elsevier. It is essential reading for all those wishing to keep abreast of research and industrial news in refrigeration, air conditioning and associated fields. This is particularly important in these times of rapid introduction of alternative refrigerants and the emergence of new technology. The journal has published special issues on alternative refrigerants and novel topics in the field of boiling, condensation, heat pumps, food refrigeration, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrocarbons, magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, sorptive cooling, phase change materials and slurries, ejector technology, compressors, and solar cooling. As well as original research papers the International Journal of Refrigeration also includes review articles, papers presented at IIR conferences, short reports and letters describing preliminary results and experimental details, and letters to the Editor on recent areas of discussion and controversy. Other features include forthcoming events, conference reports and book reviews. Papers are published in either English or French with the IIR news section in both languages.
