Stability and thermophysical of hybrid nanoparticle in polyester oil

Stability and thermophysical of hybrid nanoparticle in polyester oil / Yusuf Amir Ahmad Ibrahim Ahmad
Sejak kebelakangan ini, terdapat banyak ahli saintis dan penyelidik menumpukan perhatian kepada penggunaan nanofluid dalam pelbagai industri dan kemampuannnya untuk meningkatkan kecekapan pemindahan haba termofizik untuk bendalir. Nanofluid pada dasarnya adalah campuran bendalir asas bersama satu atau lebih nanopartikel. Cabarannya adalah kestabilan dan prestasi nanofluid tersebut semasa fasa operasi. Dalam kes ini, minyak poliester adalah bendalir asas yang dipilih untuk menjadi bendalir pemindahan haba untuk sistem penyaman udara domestik. Nanotube karbon multi-berdinding fungsional (F-MWCNT) dan silika adalah dua jenis nanopartikel yang digunakan dalam tiga konfigurasi yang berbeza iaitu, mono F-MWCNT, mono silika, dan hibrid (F-MWCNT & Silica). Untuk mono F-MWCNT dan silika, pelbagai sampel dengan kepekatan berbeza telah dihasilkan iaitu 0,025, 0,050, 0,075 dan 0,1 isipadu% Masing-masing disediakan untuk mengkaji kesan kepekatan terhadap kestabilan dan sifat termofisiknya. Untuk hibrid (F-MWCNT & Silica), nisbah berbeza disediakan iaitu nisbah 0.075: 0.025, 0.050: 0.050, dan 0.025: 0.075 isipadu% menggunakan kaedah dua langkah. Surfaktan, Sodium Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate (SDBS) juga digunakan dalam eksperimen untuk melihat sama ada ia dapat meningkatkan sifat termofizik serta meningkatkan kestabilannya. Peningkatan kekonduksian terma yang paling tinggi adalah dengan kepekatan 0.1 isipadu% oleh kedua-dua mono F-MWCNT dan Silica dengan peningkatan 3.7%. Apabila surfaktan ditambah, ia membuat peningkatan kelikatan lebih banyak dengan kenaikan 91.86% oleh mono F-MWCNT. Selain itu, pemerhatian pemendapan telah dilakukan. Semua sampel tidak menunjukkan pemendapan kecuali sampel yang terdapat kandungan silika dan surfaktan pada hari ke-14. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Recently, many scientists and researchers are giving lots of attention towards the potential usage of nanofluids because of their ability to enhance the thermophysical heat transfer fluid and their application in various industries. Nanofluids are basically a mixture of a base fluid with one or more types of nanoparticles. Challenges are their stability and performance during the operating phase. In this case, Polyester Oil, the base fluid is chosen as a heat transfer fluid for a typical domestic air conditioning system. Two types of nanoparticles are chosen which are functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (F-MWCNT) and silica are used in three different configurations of nanolubricants which are, mono F-MWCNT, mono silica, and hybrid (F-MWCNT & Silica). For both mono F-MWCNT and silica, multiple samples with different concentrations which are 0.025, 0.050, 0.075 and 0.1vol.% were prepared each to study the effects of concentration on its stability and thermophysical properties. For hybrid (F-MWCNT & Silica), different ratios were prepared which were 0.075:0.025, 0.050:0.050, and 0.025:0.075 vol.% ratio using the two-step method. Surfactant, Sodium Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate (SDBS) was also used eventually in the experiment to see whether it enhances the thermophysical properties of a nanolubricant as well as improving its stability. The most increment of thermal conductivity was by concentration of 0.1vol.% of both mono F-MWCNT and Silica with an enhancement of 3.7%. The addition of surfactant made an increase in viscosity even more, an increment of 91.86% by the mono F-MWCNT. Other than that, the sedimentation observation was conducted. All samples did not show any sedimentation except for the sample with the presence of silica and surfactant as well on the 14th day.
