Thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of aqueous-silver nanoparticle dispersion

Abstract In this study, the silver nanoparticles are dispersed into the distilled water which is miscible with distilled water at any ratio and has excellent dispersion stability at room temperature. The temperature dependent thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of the silver nanofluids are estimated by KD2 pro thermal conductivity analyzer and digital viscometer, respectively. The results show that the silver nanofluids exhibits enhanced thermal conductivity and viscosity than the base fluids for the measured temperature range.
