Abstract
Nanofluids containing vanadium dioxide (VO2) are used in applications such as actuators, smart windows, and gastrointestinal tracts. Therefore, measuring the thermal conductivity of nanofluids with VO2 characteristics is important in various environmental industries. In this study, the bidirectional 3 omega (3ω) method was used to measure the thermal conductivity of nanofluids. Experimental equipment for measuring VO2 nanofluids in various environments was designed and fabricated. The effectiveness of the bidirectional 3ω equipment was verified by measuring the thermal conductivity of ethylene glycol, which has been extensively reported in the literature. The effects of elapsed time, specimen thickness, and operation temperature on the thermal conductivity are discussed in this paper. In addition, the measuring error was investigated with regard to the precipitation of particles in the suspension.
期刊介绍:
High Temperatures – High Pressures (HTHP) is an international journal publishing original peer-reviewed papers devoted to experimental and theoretical studies on thermophysical properties of matter, as well as experimental and modelling solutions for applications where control of thermophysical properties is critical, e.g. additive manufacturing. These studies deal with thermodynamic, thermal, and mechanical behaviour of materials, including transport and radiative properties. The journal provides a platform for disseminating knowledge of thermophysical properties, their measurement, their applications, equipment and techniques. HTHP covers the thermophysical properties of gases, liquids, and solids at all temperatures and under all physical conditions, with special emphasis on matter and applications under extreme conditions, e.g. high temperatures and high pressures. Additionally, HTHP publishes authoritative reviews of advances in thermophysics research, critical compilations of existing data, new technology, and industrial applications, plus book reviews.
