Well faceted CuO nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation method at reflux temperature in a short period of time. A possible mechanism for synthesis of such highly pure and stable nanoparticles is tentatively proposed by FT-IR study. The large surface area and rich exposed active sites are expected to endow such nanoparticles with excellent performances […]
The thermophysical properties and thermal performance of water- and ethylene-glycol-based nanofluids containing and CuO nanoparticles were examined. Nanofluids were prepared at four concentrations (1- 4 vol%) using an electric mixer and magnetic stirrer, and the thermophysical properties were measured. Surfactants were used to improve stability. The transient hot-wire method (KD2-Pro device), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), […]
