Nanoparticle-enhanced fluids (nanofluids) are engineered to improve the thermal properties of conventional heat transfer fluids like water, oil, and ethylene glycol. The enhanced thermal conductivity of nanofluids allows for more efficient heat dissipation, making them ideal for applications requiring high-performance cooling, such as in electronics, automotive, and industrial processes. Improved thermal conductivity in nanofluids leads to better thermal management, which can prevent overheating, increase the lifespan of components, and enhance overall system performance.
Presented by Prof. Dr. habil. Ing. Alina Adriana Minea from Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iaşi in Romania, this session will delve into experimental findings related to thermally conductive nanofluids. You will gain an understanding of the basics of nanofluids and their significance in industrial applications, explore the acknowledged mechanisms related to the thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids, gain insights into Dr. Minea’s novel findings on ionic liquids and PEG-based nanofluids, including their thermal conductivity and specific heat, and discover the latest ongoing experiments dedicated to advancing nanofluid technology.
