Nano-graphite (NG) and acid modified nano-graphite (ANG) nanoparticles were synthesized from graphite powder using a strong acid i.e. a mixture (sulphuric acid and nitric acid). The optical study and stability of NG and ANG/water nano-fluids were determined by using Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy measurement. The thermal properties including thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and volumetric heat capacity of the nano-fluids were measured in the mass fraction range 0 – 0.053 wt% and at temperature range of 20 – 80°C. The thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the nano-fluids show considerable rise, whereas volumetric heat capacity reduced with NG and ANG concentrations. The thermal conductivity improvement of the nano-fluid shows a considerable rise, with maximal increases of 67.64% and 75.97% for 0.053 wt% NG and ANG loadings, respectively. The volumetric heat capacity of the nano-fluids reductions with rise in mass fraction of NG and ANG and increases with increase in temperature. As a result, ANG nanoparticles are more effective at raising the thermal conductivity of water-based nanofluids, then the NG particles at given the above mass fraction loadings. Finally, based on the findings, in terms of thermal characteristics in practical systems, nano-fluids can be determined to be a viable alternative to water-based fluids. |
